The visible effect is that lines that do not go through the centre of the image are bowed outwards, towards the edge of the image.

Distortion (1625 words)
Distortion is difficult to correct for in zoom lenses, which usually go from barrel at the wide end to pincushion at the tele end.
Distortion is measured as the relative change of h compared to its value predicted by the paraxial theory.
Distortion curve for the Distagon 2.8/21 (A, Zeiss data) and its derivative (B).
Taming Barrel and Tilt Distortion (1486 words)
The spherical distortion and its inverse can be readily implemented and applied in J. A script with these barrel distortion functions and a cover form is available from [6].

While the software at [3] is faster than the functions described here, we have developed simple and effective tools for removing barrel distortion in J. One of the advantages of the J tools is that the source script is available, ready for modifications and improvements.
