Pantomorphic Perspective for Immersive Imagery

Wide choice of cinematic lenses enables motion-picture creators to adapt image visual-appearance to their creative vision. Such choice does not exist in realm of real-time computer graphics, where only one type of perspective projection is widely used. This work provides perspective imaging model that in an artistically convincing manner resembles anamorphic photography lens variety and more. It presents asymmetrical-anamorphic azimuthal projection map with natural vignetting and realistic chromatic aberration. Mathematical model for this projection has been chosen such that its parameters reflect psycho-physiological aspects of visual perception. That enables use in artistic and professional environments, where specific aspects of the photographed space are to be presented.
