What I want to do

Correct fisheye effect in images from PL Mobius Infragram Point and Shoot. One tool is PTLens ($25).

My attempt and results

Based on conversation with Stewart Long and his experience with GoPros, I used my neighbor's garage door to provide an image with a grid feature. I then used the 10-free-image trial version of PTLens to apply fisheye correction and crop the images. Used Adobe PS to make a panorama from the infrablue images. Used Ned Horning's Fiji Photomonitoring plugin to process the infrablue panorama to NDVI. Screenshot of PTLens with settings used

Questions and next steps

Explore settings and use of the PTLens software. Explore other software solutions to address the fisheye effect. Consider replacement lens options for the Mobius.

Why I'm interested

The fisheye distorted images are difficult to stitch into maps.
