Distortion can significantly affect geometrical image properties, degrading the per­formance of applications which use geometric measures , such as shape recognition, object tracking, robot guidance, and videometry. This thesis describes automated techniques to measure and correct for distortion using image feature extraction, op­timization, and image warping.65 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebThesis
