We describe a calibration and rendering technique for a projector that can render rectangular images under keystoned position. The projector utilizes a rigidly attached camera to form a stereo pair. We describe a very easy to use technique for calibration of the projector-camera pair using only black planar surfaces. We present an efficient rendering method to pre-warp images so that they appear correctly on the screen, and show experimental results.
