DISTORTION

Distortion is a rotationally symmetric image error which increase from the centre of the
images towards the image margin. In the course of this there is a local modification of
the image scale within the image plane, which can be very disturbing for measuring
applications.

In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in


which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image. It is a form of optical
aberration.

IDistortion is also commonly referred to as “curvilinear”.
