Abstract
The present disclosure provides a multi-stage image mapping mechanism for mapping a distorted image to a rectified image. For example, the multi-stage image mapping mechanism can remove homography from a distorted image to reconstruct a rectified image in two-stages: (1) a first stage in which distortion is partially removed from a distorted image to generate an intermediate image, and (2) a second stage in which residual distortion is removed from the intermediate image to recover the rectified image.
