- Abstract
- In the fabrication of a retroreflective front projection screen for motion-picture composite photography, the variations inherent in the manufactured screen material are diminished by homogenizing. This is accomplished by dividing the stock material into small, symmetrical pieces or tiles, and then tessellating (or tiling) a substrate plane. The shape of the tile is designed to reduce to a minimum the number of conjoined segments and to entirely eliminate straight lines, thus diminishing the evidence of the mosaic pattern.
