UPDATE as on 12 Nov 2015
I used PanoTools plugin with Photoshop and Hugin and played with all those parameters. End up i found the parameters for projection, HFOV and image output size that fulfill my lowest requirement.
Parameteres:
My question is then how can i convert all these parameters and values into C# algorithm coding so that when I provide the original image, i will get the corrected output image?
Thanks a lot.
I have a square image captured from a circular fisheye camera. The size is 2650 * 2650 pixels.
Now, i will need to programmatically dewarp the image to a flat panorama image using C# language.
I had look around from internet with different algorithm example from Link for code below , Link1 and Link2 but just can’t make it success. My maths sincerely sucks and can’t help me with that. Hopefully someone able to guide me through this.
Thanks a lot.
Example of image output from the camera:
–Image grabbed from Wikipedia Fisheye Lens & size modified to fit my sample pixel.
The code i tried to dewarp it but no luck:

Such a distortion as a symmetry of revolution.
In polar coordinates, with the pole at the center of the image, it is expressed as
where the quote indicates the distorted coordinates. The function f is unknown and should be measured empirically, by calibration (looking at a regular target).
To correct the image, you need to invert the function f and apply the reverse transform to the image. In fact, it is easier to measure g directly by calibration. As a starting approximation, a simple model like
can do.
Most probably you don’t have a picture of a grid taken with the same lens. Your last resort is to implement the undistortion function with adjustable parameters, and optimize these by trial and error.
It should also be possible to derive the calibration curve by looking at the deformation of straight lines, but this is more “technical”.
In Cartesian coordinates, you can express the correction transform as
where
r' = √x'²+y'²
.Use the algorithm from here:
http://www.helviojunior.com.br/fotografia/barrel-and-pincushion-distortion/
It worked for me
I’ve made some revamp to the HelvioJunior’s library (that was linked by @Tarek.Mh), I think this may suit your need:
Below, the code:
