How to remap a fisheye image?


I want to flatten a series of fisheye images by remapping them to a rectinlinear projection.


To achieve this, I need to be able to remap the pixels of the image using fisheye correction formulas for the x-, and y-coordinates. How can I achieve this? I have found this question and this question but I wonder how to use this for fisheye correction.


So far I've tried to use ImageTransformation for this, but I can't get the function to work properly.



  f[pt_] := With[{s = {.5, .5}},
Module[{rd, polarcoor, ru, newcoor},
rd = Norm[pt - s]^2/Norm[s];
polarcoor =
CoordinateTransform[{"Cartesian" -> "Polar", 2}, (pt - s)];
ru = 1*Tan[2*ArcSin[((polarcoor[[1]])/(2*1))]];
CoordinateTransform["Polar" -> "Cartesian", {ru, polarcoor[[2]]}]
]
]
ImageTransformation[image,f]


This should first translate the image coordinates to polar coordinates, then calculate the new r (ru=r undistorted), and than translate these back to cartesian coordinates. The ru = 1*Tan[2*ArcSin[((polarcoor[[1]])/(2*1))]] is based on the above links, with a random value chosen as f. It fi


I get an error message, saying the function doesn't map. Anyone have an idea how to fix this and any further suggestions on how to improve the code?


Example fisheye image


Update 2 22-10-2013 Changed the code to:


image = Import["http://i.stack.imgur.com/JDX9f.jpg"];
r[pt_] := Module[{rd, ru, polarcoor, a},
rd = Norm[pt];
ru = *Transformation formula*
a = ArcTan @@ (pt);

ru {Cos[a], Sin[a]}
]

Using ru = Sqrt[rd]; ImageTransformation[image, r, DataRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}] gives enter image description here


Using ru = ArcTan[rd]; ImageTransformation[image, r, DataRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}] gives enter image description here


Both look like a step in the right direction, with straightened lines, but I got them by trial-and-error so I don't know the correctness.

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
