One of the main configuration aspects of a PiWall video wall is the geometry file. This maps each tile in the wall to the coordinates of the video it should render. For small (2×2, 3×3) walls, it is practical to simply take measurements, either from the wall physically or from a photo.
We are currently collaborating on a project which will have around 300 screens, and so it seems worthwhile to invest in making a tool to handle the geometry definition automatically.
A proof of concept prototype in OpenCV can be seen in the following video where a phone is pointed at the wall and rotated to give a series of images of walls at different angles. The OpenCV processor takes each frame, applies rectangle image identification and overlay, and then generates a video of the combined output. The algorithm needs some refinement and we have ideas for how to inject patterns that will help with the task.
Hi,
I need to run simultaneously and in sync four to six hd screen. Same as a piwall screen but with possibility of fastforward, rewind, scrubbing and always in total sync.
Do you think that piwall would be a solution for this special need?
Regards
