David Millán Escrivá

David Millán Escrivá was 8 years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC in Basic, which enabled the 2D plotting of basic equations. In 2005, he finished his studies in IT with honors, through the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, in human-computer interaction supported by computer vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He has worked with Blender, an open source, 3D software project, and on its first commercial movie, Plumiferos, as a computer graphics software developer. David has more than 10 years' experience in IT, with experience in computer vision, computer graphics, pattern recognition, and machine learning, working on different projects, and at different start-ups, and companies. He currently works as a researcher in computer vision.

Remapping an image

In the recipes of this chapter, you learned how to read and modify the pixel values of an image. The last recipe will teach you how to modify the appearance of an image by moving its pixels. The pixel values are not changed by this process; it is rather the position of each pixel that is remapped to a new location. This is useful in order to create special effects on an image or to correct image distortions caused, for example, by a lens.

How to do it...

In order to use the OpenCV remap function, first you simply have to define the map to be used in the remapping process. Second, you have to apply this map on an input image. Obviously, it is the way you define your map that will determine the effect that...
