  2. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  3. Globe effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_effect

    Fig. 2b: An instrumental pincushion distortion of = leads to an almost complete elimination of the globe effect. The image of an afocal optical instrument is distortion-free if the f-tan theta condition, also known as tangent condition and first defined by Bow and Sutton in 1861, is satisfied: [4] ⁡ = ⁡.

  4. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    The reverse, in which the perimeter is magnified more than the center, is known as "pincushion distortion" (figure 3b). This effect is called lens distortion or image distortion, and there are algorithms to correct it. Systems free of distortion are called orthoscopic (orthos, right, skopein to look) or rectilinear (straight lines). Figure 4

  5. Rectilinear lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_lens

    In photography, a rectilinear lens is a photographic lens that yields images where straight features, such as the edges of walls of buildings, appear with straight lines, as opposed to being curved. In other words, it is a lens with little or no barrel or pincushion distortion. At particularly wide angles, however, the rectilinear perspective ...

  6. Keystone effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_effect

    The keystone effect is the apparent distortion of an image caused by projecting it onto an angled surface. It is the distortion of the image dimensions, such as making a square look like a trapezoid, the shape of an architectural keystone, hence the name of the feature. In the typical case of a projector sitting on a table, and looking upwards ...

  7. Curvilinear perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_perspective

    Curvilinear barrel distortion Curvilinear pincushion distortion. Curvilinear perspective, also five-point perspective, is a graphical projection used to draw 3D objects on 2D surfaces, for which (straight) lines on the 3D object are projected to curves on the 2D surface that are typically not straight (hence the qualifier "curvilinear" [citation needed]).

  9. Zoom lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_lens

    Digital photography can also accommodate algorithms that compensate for optical flaws, both within in-camera processors and post-production software. Some photographic zoom lenses are long-focus lenses , with focal lengths longer than a normal lens , some are wide-angle lenses (wider than normal ), and others cover a range from wide-angle to ...
