Abstract

The article discusses the virtual camera method for local elimination of distortions in the area of interest. The description of the developed algorithm is given. The results of an experimental study of the accuracy of determining the distance from the camera to the object and the computational costs of the proposed method and traditional approaches are presented. It is shown that the virtual camera algorithm can be effectively integrated into intelligent unmanned systems to solve problems of their interaction with surrounding objects in the field of view of a wide-angle camera.

Keywords
