Non-symmetric distortion generated by an imaging system producing a
distortion predominantly in one image dimension is corrected by providing
a distortion model capable of correcting the non-symmetric distortion in
an image that is predominantly in the one image dimension, providing one
or more correction parameters, wherein at least one correction parameter
relates to the distortion predominantly in the one image dimension, and
generating an image corrected for the non-symmetric distortion by using
the distortion model and the one or more correction parameters.
