A lens distortion is a 2D warping of the image plane to account for lens effects not accounted for by the simple camera models. It is assumed that the map is bijective, though a closed form solution for the inverse may not exist in general. A default iterative solver is provided to solve for the inverse mapping. Currently the iterative solver has only been implemented for the specialized radial symmetric case in derived class vpgl_radial_distortion.
