The Distortion Correction (DC) core corrects images accurately on-the-fly. It is reliable in real-time applications where speed is vital and is ideal for custom systems, especially where processing latency and memory bandwidth are critical. Its ability to continuously compensate for lens distortions also means economies can be made where some expensive high-performance optics used to be required. DC uses an advanced digital hardware implementation that far outperforms traditional software-based solutions, bringing a new generation of high-performance video applications into view.
