FPGA based real time video distortion correction

In ideal case, the optical elements existing in the camera systems are expected to project the outside scene to the camera sensor without any distortion. In reality, however, it is not possible due to manufacturing tolerances, etc. A distorted image is visually annoying as well as it is a problem for image processing steps to be possibly applied. In this study, a real time video distortion correction method based on lens distortion model is realized on field programmable gate array (FPGA).
