    Abstract: A projection apparatus includes a light source unit which time-divisionally emits light in colors by light emission from light emitting devices; a display element using light emitted from the light source unit, displaying images respectively corresponding to the colors of the emitted light, and forming optical images by reflection or transmission light thereof; a projection unit emitting the optical images formed by the display element toward a projection target; a timing setting unit setting a change timing associated with changing each of the colors, and setting spoke periods generated at each change timing; a light source drive unit driving the light source unit, based on the change timings and spoke periods; a detection unit detecting information indicating a light amount of the light for each of the colors emitted from the projection unit during the spoke periods; and a light source controller setting a delay time for light emission timings at the light source unit in the spoke periods by the light source drive unit, based on information obtained by the detection unit.

    Abstract: In a processing method of image data in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a processor of an information processing apparatus calculates a heat quantity value when projecting and displaying image data, determines the image data as an image to be projected and displayed when the heat quantity value does not reach a threshold value, and generates processed image data so that a heat quantity is to be lower than the heat quantity value and determines the processed image data as an image to be projected and displayed when the heat quantity value exceeds the threshold value.

    Abstract: The present invention aims to make it possible to detect deterioration of a housing of a projection apparatus and to notify a user of the deterioration of the housing. A projection apparatus includes at least one processor and an acceleration sensor which detects an inclination of the projection apparatus, in which the processor performs the processes of acquiring a difference between i) a first detection value which is detected by the acceleration sensor in a case where the projection apparatus is installed on an installation surface and ii) a second value which is detected by the acceleration sensor at a time which comes after the installation of the projection apparatus with the projection apparatus on the installation surface, and in a case where the difference becomes more than a threshold value, controlling to notify a warning at a predetermined timing by functioning as a notification unit or to stop functions of the projection apparatus.
