Method and apparatus for correction of an image from a fisheye lens in a camera
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a video system, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an image captured by use of a fisheye lens;
dividing the image into a plurality of horizontal image lines; and
sampling a respective fraction of each of the horizontal image lines with a different respective sampling frequency, each sampling frequency being inversely related to a size of the sampled fraction, the size of the sampled fraction increasing with each horizontal image line in a progression from a top of the image to a bottom of the image.

Abstract
A method of operating a video system includes receiving an image captured by use of a fisheye lens. The image is divided into a plurality of horizontal image lines. A respective fraction of each of the horizontal image lines is sampled with a different respective sampling frequency. Each sampling frequency is inversely related to a size of the sampled fraction. The size of the sampled fraction increases with each horizontal image line in a progression from a top of the image to a bottom of the image.

14. A video system comprising:
-
a camera including a fisheye lens; means for dividing an image captured by the camera into a plurality of horizontal image lines; and means for sampling a respective fraction of each of the horizontal image lines with a different respective sampling frequency, each sampling frequency being inversely related to a size of the sampled fraction, the size of the sampled fraction being non-decreasing with each horizontal image line in a progression from a top of the image to a bottom of the image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
