We introduce a new model for lens distortion modelling with high accuracies beyond conventional models while yet allowing real-time calculation. The concept is based on Free-Function modelling in a posterior calibration step using the initial distortion estimation and the corresponding residuals on the observations as input information. Free-Function model is the technique of numerically and locally modelling the lens distortion field by assuming unknown functions in our calibration model. This increases the model’s flexibility to fit to different optical designs and be able to model the very local lens distortions. Using the Free-Function model one can observe great enhancements in accuracy (in comparison with classical models). Furthermore, by increasing the number of control points and improving their distribution the quality of lens modelling would be improved; a characteristic which is not present in the classical methods. |
