All Implemented Interfaces:

Named

Direct Known Subclasses:

BesselianDistorter, BesselianDistorter.BesselianInverseDistorter

public abstract class SphereDistorter
extends Transformer
implements Named

This class defines a non-linear distortion in the image plane. Normally the forward distortion converts from a fiducial projection plane to some distorted coordinates. The reverse distortion transforms from the distorted coordinates back to the fiducial coordinates.

What does this object do?

inverse

public abstract SphereDistorter inverse()

Description copied from class: Transformer

Get the inverse of the transformation. If the order matters, then the inverse is to be applied after the original transformation. This is primarily an issue with Converters.
