What is Distortion by Wikipedia

On-Set Visual Effects Documentation by Niles Heckman

  • These grids are 48 inches by 96 inches PDF files for you to download. You or your Art department can have these printed, laminated (matte finish if possible) and mounted on a wail or board. You can scale these if you want a bit of a margin for rigging/mounting.

Lens Grid information by Eric Alba

Distortion article by Edmund Optics

  • La distorsione è un’aberrazione geometrica non lineare in cui l’ingrandimento cambia con l’altezza del campo. Scopri tre tipi comuni di distorsione nelle applicazioni di imaging: pincushion, barrel, keystone. Unisciti a Gregory Hollows, direttore di Machine Vision Solutions, mentre discute della distorsione e fornisce suggerimenti utili per correggere le diverse tipologie.
