Abstract

A source image (S) that is distorted by camera optics is transformed into a corrected image (T) by using a tabular imaging rule. This transformation occurs directly during the reading out from the image sensor and in real-time. No, one or several target pixels in the target image (T) are assigned to each source pixel of the source image.
