Source:

Undistort_Image.java

Installation:

Download Undistort_Image.java to the plugins folder and compile it. You need the intrinsic camera parameters of your cam system.

Description:

This plugin allows you to undistort images taken with your cam using intrinsic camera parameters calculated with the zhang calibration tool. You can find more details about the Zhang calibration method at http://research.microsoft.com/%7Ezhang/Calib/

This plugin version will only work with an image size of 640 x 480 pix.  

 

Undistort images using intrinsic camera parameters calculated with the zhang method

Optical lense systems have more or less imperfections which lead to optical distortions. This distortions must be taken into account if one wants to use images for measuring. There are several methods available to calculate the optical distortions and finally undistort the images. The developed plugin will use the intrinsic camera parameters calculated with the Zhang calibration tool EasyCalib.exe integrated in the ImageJ plugin Optic_Calib .

 

Open your original distort image or stack stack

Start the plugin Undistort_Image

You will then be asked to select the valid intrinsic parameter file Params.txt for your camera system. The plugin Optic_Calib generally use Params.txt  as name for the parameter file. But each parameter file is stored in the same folder as the original calibration images.

Selection of parameter file params.txt

 

The intrinsic parameters will be showed in a new dialog box. If necessary you can make additional modifications.

 

Imported intrinsic parameters

 

By clicking the OK button the undistortion will be started with the showed parameters.
