Abstract

This paper proposes a fast and simple mapping method for lens distortion correction. Typical correction methods use a distortion model defined on distorted coordinates. They need inverse mapping for distortion correction. Inverse mapping of distortion equations is not trivial; approximation must be taken for real time applications. We propose a distortion model defined on ideal undistorted coordinates, so that we can reduce computation time and maintain the high accuracy. We verify accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method from experiments.
