Abstract

In a first aspect, curvature distortions of an image recorded with a wide angle or fisheye lens are corrected by electronically or optically reversing the curvature, to create a substantially flat image. In a second aspect, an image is created by mosaicing several images (3A, 3B, 3C) of a view, having different respective orientations (1A, 1B, 1C). The resultant image generates a perception of depth, due to the peripheral images (3B, 3B) having a more sharply angled perspective than the center image (3A).
