Class SphereDistorter

java.lang.Object

skyview.geometry.Transformer

skyview.geometry.SphereDistorter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Component

Direct Known Subclasses:

Besselian, Besselian.BesselianInverse

public abstract class SphereDistorter
extends Transformer
implements Component

This class defines a non-linear distortion in the image plane. Normally the forward distortion converts from a fiducial projection plane to some distorted coordinates. The reverse distortion transforms from the distorted coordinates back to the fiducial coordinates.

inverse

public abstract SphereDistorter inverse()

Description copied from class: Transformer

Get the inverse of the transformation. If the order matters, then the inverse is to be applied after the original transformation. This is primarily an issue with Converters.
