Abstract:Distortion is an undesirable aberration found in optical imaging systems, necessitating numerical calibration. However, the fact that image distortion changes with observation distance can be used for ranging. This study developed a rapid, passive-ranging technique, which is simple, incurs low costs, results in minimal interference, and requires few parameters. After determining the location of reference points, the relationship between the normalized mean distortion of images and observation distance is descr… Show more
