DeBarrel Plugin

[vcmohan]

DeBarrel is a new plugin that corrects for Barrel type or pin cushion type distortions that are present on all images, but noticeable to different extants. Projecting an image on to a flat film or sensor array by the lens creates the distortion.

These are corrected by specifying 3 parameters. On a perfect grid the following distortions were generated using this plugin in reverse.

@vcmohan,
Hmm, I can't download DeBarrel plugin.
Is that link correct?

Sorry for that. Now you will be able to down load.

The "source" link does not work.


:Edit: Now it does, thanks.

[vcmohan]

I wanted to clean a bit prior to providing link. I provided the link now and will clean later.

I have added a test option, wherein for a range of coefficients the distorted grids are overlain on the reference frame, to enable finding the values of coefficients.

Very nice work.

Can this be used for when ur using Wide Angle lenses which will tend to give perspective distortion, can this correct it?

[vcmohan]

Perspective distortion is when you are shooting an object not from a squarely center position. Such distortion can be corrected by my Reform plugin. With a wide angle lens what you mostly see is a barrel type distortion. Please see the full writeup of the plugin. Test procedure to arrive at values of coefficients is given.
