|
|
I just bought myself a fish lens (Sigma 15 mm, hehe) and although I can
defish with PaintshopPro I was wondering if anyone knows of a routine how to
do this in Delphi.
Any help? Tnx!

Use a non-fish lens instead?
What is a fish lens anyway and what should a defish routine do?

A fish-eye lens is a very wide field of view lens (Some go up to 180
degrees). A defish routine would try to remove the distortion from the
lens to get a normal looking image.
I wouldn't fancy your chances of finding a component to do this in
Delphi. From what I understand, it's pretty involved. You might be able
to drive a package like PTLens (I think it comes with "Panorama Tools")
from the command line.

I see.
Is there any such fish-eye images on net that one can look at?

Here you can see some samples of the Sigma I have bought:

There are two types of Fish lenses. A circular and diagonal type. The Sigma
15mm is a diagonal typed fish lens.

As a photographer myself I can tell you this much: Trying to "defish",
as you call it, an image made with a fish-eye lens of any type is definitely
an exercise in futility! The code to do so programmatically would have to
be customized for the exact distortions caused by the lens and then a large
amount of image loss would occur. The same is true in attempting to take an
image or series of images taken by degrees and combine them to look as if
taken in one shot via a fisheye lens. Finally, even a fisheye lens itself
introduces a certain amount of image distortion and loss of quality, with
each and every lens exhibiting some differences from each other. The
methods used to grind and correct such lenses are based on broad analysis
and really cannot be proofed mathematically to any certain degree!
