Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed herein to provide for improved perspective distortion correction for wide field of view (FOV) video image streams. The techniques disclosed herein may be configured, such that the distortion correction applied to requested region of interest (ROI) portions taken from individual images of the wide FOV video image stream smoothly transitions between applying different distortion correction to ROIs, depending on their respective FOVs. In particular, the techniques disclosed herein may modify the types and/or amounts of perspective distortion correction applied, based on the FOVs of the ROIs, as well as their location within the original wide FOV video image stream. In some cases, additional perspective distortion correction may also be applied to account for tilt in an image capture device as the wide FOV video image stream is being captured and/or the unwanted inclusion of “invalid” pixels from the wide FOV image.
