Lens distortions are a major obstacle in making large-format lenticular pictures. These distortions can be fixed by warping the interlaced image according to the lens distortions. The fixing procedure is comprised from two steps:
1. Measurement of the lens distortions,
2. Warping the interlaced image according to the lens distortions.
The lens distortions can be measured in several ways. I use a pattern created from a sequence of uniformly colored images. Here is a photograph of such pattern with distorted lens:
In this picture I have used a 25lpi lens of size 100x100cm. The sequence had 5 images, in colors R, G, B, W, and K. All five colors can be seen in the picture, so the lens, as is, is unusable.
The distortion of the lens can be measured from this pattern, and the interlaced image can be warped to compensate for these distortions. Here is the same scenario with the interlaced image warped to compensate for the distortions:
It can be seen that all distortions disappeared. A photograph of final picture with the corrective warping applied is shown below:
This procedure allows making large-format lenticular pictures regardless of the lens distortion.
