AUTOMATED GENERATION OF ANAMORPHIC IMAGES FOR CATOPTRIC ANAMORPHOSIS

Abstract:

Enhanced methods and systems for the automatic generation and rendering of anamorphic (e.g., curved, distorted, deformed, and/or warped) images are described. When viewed via a reflection from a non-planar (e.g., curved) surface, the automatically generated and rendered anamorphic images are perceived as being relatively non-distorted, deformed, and/or warped. The anamorphic images may be utilized for catoptric anamorphis, e.g., projective, mirrored and/or reflective anamorphic displays of images. Various artworks may employ the automatically generated anamorphic image, and the curved reflective surface to generate a relatively undistorted reflected image of the anamorphic image.
