Abstract

A method of correcting an image with perspective distortion and creating an artificial image with perspective distortion is disclosed. First, image data including a distorted object image are received. Next, the user inputs an operational instruction for setting a plurality of distortion parameters pertaining to the image data, which include a distorted side of the distorted object image, a central line and a distortion ratio. Thus, a plurality of coordinates of corners of the distorted object image are calculated according to these distortion parameters and a transformation matrix is determined according to the calculated coordinates of the corners of the distorted object image. Finally, the distorted object image is transformed to a corrected object image according to the transformation matrix.
