Input image remapped rapidly and accurately onto different coordinate grid. Analog/digital electronic image-processing system developed to warp input images onto arbitrary coordinate grids at video rates. Advantages of system include antialiasing effect of many-to-one data path and speed of lookup-table operation. Lookup tables reprogrammed easily with help of computer that generates table values from mathematical description of desired transformation. Applications include real-time corrections of distortions in input optics of image sensors, corrections for repeatable nonlinear scanning, and aiding persons of impaired vision by deliberately distorting images onto remaining functional portions of retinas.
