Patent number: 8363089Abstract: Any given part is cut out from a distorted circular image photographed by use of a fisheye lens and converted into a planar regular image with less distortion. A virtual sphere H having a radius R on a distorted circular image S on an XY plane is defined, thereby allowing a user to designate a cut-out center point P, a magnification m, and a planar inclination angle ?. A visual line vector n passing through an intersecting point Q immediately above the point P is determined to define an UV orthogonal coordinate system having an orientation depending on the angle ? on a plane orthogonal to a visual line vector n at a point G in which a distance between two points OG is given as m·R. The UV orthogonal coordinate system is curved along the side face C of a “virtual cylindrical column in which the point G forms one point on the side face to have a straight line V? parallel to the V axis and also passing through the point O as a central axis,” thereby defining the UV curved coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Koji Inagaki
