In this paper, we analyze the distortion of images acquired with a novel Ray-Space acquisition system. In case
an arbitrary viewpoint picture is generated using the Ray-Space method, it is necessary to acquire dense ray
data. Conventional methods for acquiring the Ray-Space data consist of using rotating stages or a camera
array. We developed a system consisting of two parabolic mirrors, a synchronized galvanometric mirror and
a high-speed camera. The principle is as follows; if an object is put in the bottom of the parabolic mirror,
the ray which comes out of the object is imaged in the upper part, and form a real image. The galvanometer
mirror is put on the position of a real image, and is made to scan horizontally. Images of the object of different
angles (directions) are then possible to generate and are captured by the high-speed camera. By capturing
many images at each scan, Ray-Space is therefore acquirable. However, distortion arises in the real image
of the object formed. Consequently, distortion appears in the captured image. Therefore, it is necessary to
correct the captured image to the right image. Here, we examine a method to generate corrected images from
the acquired Ray-Space.
