Professor Scaramuzza:
 
I used a clip-on 180 degree fisheye lens on iphone and captured some checkerboard images and test image. After I used your toolbox to calibrate and undistort the image, I found the image quality at boundary is blurred, and may have color distortion. Is this blur or color distortion expected? What may cause them? I attached two files so you may have a look.
 
Thanks,
Tao

Hi
There is no blur or color distortion in your images. What you call blur is a normal interpolation artifact typical in upsampling, due to warping a low resolution image (the borders) into a higher resolution one. The color distortion is due again to the fact that this warping emphasizes all the defects of smartphone cameras (ie, cheap color filter).

Hi Tao,
how did you get the undistorted image to not be cropped? Did you modify the undistort.m file or did you use your own mapping?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have the same question. How can I rectify an image with undistort.m and can view the whole output view? As we can see in pciture test-c.jpg from Tao.

Looking forward to your answer - thanks!

Regards, Andreas
