Fisheye Video Filter

Overview

Convert fisheye video to rectilinear, and vice versa. It is based on the angular mapping functions actually used in fisheye lens design, to get the best possible results. It can also be used to correct the slight distortion of some wide-angle converters, or to bend the image beyond recognition for special effects and light shows.
