Abstract: Images taken with wide-angle and inexpensive
medium-angle lenses show substantial distortion,
which will cause many computer vision applications to
malfunction. Parametric calibration algorithms cannot
handle the wide range of possible distortion functions
and they require a known image center, expensive
equipment, and/or estimation of unneeded parameters.
We present a new algorithm to remove distortion.
It is similar to the plumb line method but
it (a) uses images of spheres rather than lines, ... (Update)
...pixels, as reference. The other triangulations were normalized so as to have the same global scale and orientation as the reference. See [17] for details. Then a grid of 20 by 20 uniformly spaced points in the input image was warped to stereographic, using the normalized...
