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.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
