peer agreement (net): +1keystone (trapezodial) distortion Explanation: I happened to come across how "Keystone", one of the menus on a remote controller for a projector, has been translated as 台形歪み. This might be referenced. Here are some examples: When the projector placement angle against the screen is changed while projecting the image, the picture will undergo keystone (trapezoidal) distortion. - Depending on the amount of keystone adjustment needed and the image content, some information may be lost, or the picture quality may suffer. - Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone adjustment. Please consider this is just for you information. Hope it may help. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2009-01-25 00:07:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry I mis-spelled the answer, which is correctly "keystone (trapezoidal) distortion". Here are some existing osages of trapezoidal distortion: http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2004104668 http://www.pairtext.com/disp-2006-14233.html Keystone distortion is also translated as キーストン歪み.

It's like coincidence! - |
