Correction of Geometric Lens Distortion Through Image Warping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new technique for estimating and correcting the geometric distortion produced by common offthe-shelf lenses. The taks of recovering the three most important parameters modeling the lens distortion of a digital camera is formulated as a problem of image warping where the distorted image of a planar calibration plate taken by the camera has to be registered onto the virtual undistorted image of the same target that would be produced by an ideal pinhole digital camera in a convenient position with respect to it. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is chosen for solving the associated minimization problem in which the cost function is the squared L2 norm of the difference between the intensities of the reference and distorted image. In this paper, the algorithm is applied to a practical case of lens distortion correction; the experimental results reported here confirm the effectiveness of the image warping approach.

The Integrating Resampler and Efficient Image Warping
This paper introduces integrating resamplers as an efficient method for image warping using a class of imaging-consistent reconstruction/restoration algorithms proposed in [Boult and Wolberg-1993]. Examples are given to show the use of the integrating resamplers described herein for two low-level computer vision applications. The first is geometric correction for images degraded by radial lens ...
متن کاملReal-time geometric lens distortion correction using a graphics processing unit
Optical imaging systems often suffer from distortion artifacts which impose important limitations on the direct interpretation of the images. It is possible to correct for these aberrations through image processing, but due to their calculation-intensive nature, the required corrections are typically performed offline. However, with image-based applications that operate interactively, real-time...
متن کاملCorrecting the Chromatic Aberration in Barrel Distortion of Endoscopic Images
Modern endoscopes offer physicians a wide-angle field of view (FOV) for minimally invasive therapies. However, the high level of barrel distortion may prevent accurate perception of image. Fortunately, this kind of distortion may be corrected by digital image processing. In this paper we investigate the chromatic aberrations in the barrel distortion of endoscopic images. In the past, chromatic ...

A Planar-Dimensions Machine Vision Measurement Method Based on Lens Distortion Correction
Lens distortion practically presents in a real optical imaging system causing nonuniform geometric distortion in the images and gives rise to additional errors in the vision measurement. In this paper, a planar-dimensions vision measurement method is proposed by improving camera calibration, in which the lens distortion is corrected on the pixel plane of image. The method can be divided into th...
