RESUMO
Multi-projector systems offer both higher resolution and brightness by using a cluster of projectors, providing better visual quality when compared to traditional systems using a single high performance projector. When we consider the high cost associated with high-end projectors, the use of multiple low cost projectors can reduce considerably the cost of such installation. The goal of this thesis is to research such alternatives using clusters of projects to develop a scalable multi- projector system capable of achieving a high resolution display comparable to that of a human eye. We call such display the retina display. We proved the viability of such system through the development of a multi-projector system called Fast Fusion which automatically calibrates casually aligned projectors to properly blend different projections using cameras. Our Fast Fusion system improves known algorithms in the literature for projector calibration and blending using homographic matrices. Additionally, we propose a new architecture that supports a higher number of projectors than previous approaches - our solution supports hundreds or thousands of projectors to be used together, powered by a graphics cluster. The multi-projector system developed in this thesis has been validated on several virtual reality solutions by developing applications in diverse areas such as learning, training, simulation, entertainment and tourism. Finally, this thesis presents a thorough analysis of the visual and computational performance of our system.
