Abstract
A simple method for determining and subsequent eliminating geometrical distortions, including chromatic aberrations, introduced by an imaging system is described. A virtual calibration object is transferred onto a plane surface and is photographed using a tested optical system. The image is compared by the correlation method with digital original matched with camera angle using projective transformations.
