When a projector is installed above a workspace and pointed Received in revised form downward, supportive information can be presented; however, the label will be deformed 25 October 2014 if the object is nonplanar. Also, a label might be projected in a region where it is hidden Accepted 29 October 2014 by the object, i.e., a blind area. In this paper, we propose a view management technique to This paper has been recommended for acceptance by Shi Kho Chang allow interpretation by improving the legibility of the information. We propose the Available online 7 November 2014 nonoverlapped gradient descent (NGD) method, which determines the position of a newly added label by avoiding overlap with the surrounding labels and linkage lines. The issues Keywords: of presenting in a shadow or blind area are also
