Publication number: 20240070829Abstract: Described herein is a technique in which a plurality of distortion meshes compensate for radial and chromatic aberrations created by optical lenses. The plurality of distortion meshes may include different lens specific parameters that allow the distortion meshes to compensate for chromatic aberrations created within received images. The plurality of distortion meshes may correspond to a red color channel, green color channel, or blue color channel to compensate for the chromatic aberrations. The distortion meshes may also include shaped distortions and grids to compensate for radial distortions, such as pin cushion distortions.
