Abstract
In this study, we present the first actual working system that can project content onto a tunnel wall from a moving subway train so that passengers can enjoy the display of digital content through a train window. To effectively estimate the position of the train in a tunnel, we propose counting sleepers, which are installed at regular interval along the railway, using a distance sensor. The tunnel profile is constructed using pointclouds captured by a depth camera installed next to the projector. The tunnel profile is used to identify projectable sections that will not contain too much interference by possible occluders. The tunnel profile is also used to retrieve the depth at a specific location so that a properly warped content can be projected for viewing by passengers through the window when the train is moving at runtime. Here, we show that the proposed system can operate on an actual train.
