**Discorpy** is an open-source Python package designed for camera calibration and distortion
correction with sub-pixel accuracy. It calculates parameters of correction models
using a grid pattern image. Primarily, the package implements methods published in
[Optics Express](https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.23.032859) and offers a comprehensive
pipeline for data processing. Starting from version 1.4, the package also includes
perspective distortion correction capabilities.

Features
========
- The [polynomial model](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/methods.html#calculating-coefficients-of-a-polynomial-model-for-radial-distortion-correction)
used by the package is versatile enough to calibrate images with varying levels of
radial distortion. This practical feature eliminates the need for users to switch
between different models based on the degree of distortion in the images.
- Discorpy offers a unique feature where [radial distortion, the center of distortion, and perspective distortion](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/methods.html)
can be independently determined and corrected using a single calibration image.
- The software provides a full pipeline of data processing including:
+ [Pre-processing methods](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#pre-processing)
for: extracting reference-points from a dot-pattern image, line-pattern image,
and chessboard (checkerboard) image; grouping these points line-by-line.
+ [Processing methods](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#processing) for calculating
the optical center, coefficients of polynomial models for correcting radial distortion, and parameters
of a model for correcting perspective distortion.
+ [Post-processing methods](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#post-processing) for:
unwarping lines of points, images, or slices of a 3D dataset; and evaluating the accuracy of the correction results.
+ Some methods may be useful for other applications:
* [Correct non-uniform background](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/discorpy.prep.preprocessing.html#discorpy.prep.preprocessing.normalization_fft) of an image.
* Select [binary objects](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/discorpy.prep.preprocessing.html#discorpy.prep.preprocessing.select_dots_based_distance) in a certain range of values.
* Unwarp slices of a [3D dataset](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/discorpy.post.postprocessing.html#discorpy.post.postprocessing.unwarp_slice_backward).

Usage
=====
- To achieve high-accuracy results, the quality of the calibration image is crucial.
An ideal calibration image should contain [numerous reference points](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/methods.html#extracting-reference-points-from-a-calibration-image)
extracted from [dot-patterns, line-patterns](https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/discorpy/tree/master/data),
or [checkerboard images](https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/discorpy/tree/master/data/laptop_camera), covering most of
the camera's field of view and minimizing perspective distortion.

Demonstrations
==============
- Detailed step-by-step demonstrations featuring codes and explanations of how to use Discorpy for various types of calibration images
are shown [here](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#demonstrations).
- Apply to a visible dot-target collected at [Beamline I12](https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Imaging-and-Microscopy/I12/Detectors-at-I12.html),

- Apply to an X-ray dot-target collected at [Beamline I13](https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Imaging-and-Microscopy/I13/Diamond-Manchester_Imaging_Branchline/Facilities_and_equipment_Imaging.html),

- Improvement of tomographic reconstructed images after distortion correction:
+ For a detector with strong radial distortion:
+ For a detector with small radial distortion:
- Calibrate a commercial camera with capabilities of correcting [radial distortion and perspective distortion](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/demo_05.html)
independently.
- Calibrate a laptop [webcam](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/demo_06.html) using a checkboard image.
- Apply to a hazard camera of the [Mars Perseverance Rover](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/).
Details of how to estimate distortion coefficients of that camera without using
a calibration target are shown [here](https://discorpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/demo_08.html).
