Abstract
An optimization apparatus for a camera system having lenses with at least one non-uniform parameter and a method to design them is disclosed. When the non-uniform parameter of the lenses is the presence of optical distortion, the image of the objects inside the optimization apparatus are deformed. Embodiments of the invention allow designing of optimization apparatuses using 2D or 3D objects pre-distorted according to the exact distortion profile of the lens. When viewed by a camera system with a lens having optical distortion, the image of the pre-distorted apparatus appears undistorted, and can be automatically analyzed with existing software programs or be compared to existing images by human observers.
