Eliminate Distortion in Wide Angle Image

Wide angle lenses create a curved and distorted image which no one seems to like. This significant distortion causes loss of resolution at the image edges.

Theia Technologies ultra wide SY125 series of lenses

In the past year a new rectilinear lens giving a different ultra wide view without the barrel distortion or loss of edge resolution of typical wide angle lenses has been developed. This report is an overview of wide angle lens technology and how we overcome fisheye distortion using Linear Optical Technology™.

Theia's ultra wide rectilinear lens. Typical wide angle lens.

The report covers lens design, optical distortion, such as 3D stretching and compression, as well as the impact of these effects on image resolution. Images and diagrams are used to illustrate these effects. It goes on to describe the natural applications for wide angle lens technology. To get White Paper, click here.
