Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems efficiently apply known distortion, such as of a camera and lens, to source image data to produce data of an output image with the distortion. In an embodiment, an output image field is segmented into regions so that on each segment the distortion function is approximately linear, and segmentation data is stored in a quadtree. The distortion function is applied to the segmented image field to produce a segmented rendered distortion image (SRDI) and a corresponding look-up table. To distort a source image, a location in the output image field is selected, and the uniquely colored segment at the same location in the SRDI is found. The look-up table provides the local linear inverse of the distortion function, which is applied to determine from where in the source image to take image texture data for the distorted output image.
