Real-time arbitrary distortion correction
We developed GPU software which can correct any arbitrary distortion in real-time. As a demonstration, a Charlie Chaplin movie 'the Circus' was distorted by a fun house mirror and recorded (see ‘distorted movie’).
In advance, a distortion correction map was obtained. While recording the movie, it is real-time corrected on the GPU. What you thus get in real-time on your computer screen is the ‘corrected movie’.
