Projection mapping, extended reality, color science, and computational imaging.
- Developed projector radiometric compensation methods using spectral imaging and differentiable optimization.
- Studied projector color compensation with hyperspectral cameras and 2D spectroradiometers.
- Evaluated compensation quality with spectral error metrics and perceptual color-difference measures.
Research Statement
The field of XR, which encompasses technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) that closely integrate atoms and bits, is expected to find applications not only in entertainment but also across a wide range of industries, including medicine, education, design support, and remote communication. Within this field, my research focuses on projection mapping, a projection-based XR technology that enables users to experience virtual imagery in the real world without wearing special devices such as head-mounted displays (HMDs). I also have expertise in color science, which investigates human color perception, and I am working to clarify how the color of displayed images affects XR experiences. Through projection mapping, I aim to realize the ultimate display that achieves perceptual realism, a state in which virtual imagery becomes indistinguishable from real objects.

Projector radiometric compensation using a 2D spectroradiometer
A projector radiometric compensation method that minimizes color differences between a target image and the projected result using a 2D spectroradiometer. The project models the color transformation between a projector and a 2D spectroradiometer in a differentiable manner and compares spectral-error and perceptual color-difference objectives.
