1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,560
We talked about how
wonderfully quick

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:08,050
it is to use the mobile
devices and that's

3
00:00:08,050 --> 00:00:10,820
one of the things that's
so terrific about it.

4
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:14,210
But the camera in
most of the devices

5
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:18,100
are not only low resolution,
which is a problem,

6
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,040
but they're also very
wide angle lenses

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,090
so we have a lot of distortion
in most of the images

8
00:00:25,090 --> 00:00:28,480
when we see it in a
particular kind of image

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,150
as we're doing here.

10
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:34,140
When I quickly made this
image in our provost's office,

11
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:37,480
in fact, I was
very lucky that he

12
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,610
wanted to hang some of the
pictures I made of his work

13
00:00:40,610 --> 00:00:42,440
from years ago in his office.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,470
And I had about 30 seconds to
make the image showing the,

15
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:49,590
let's call it "art" at
this point, on the walls.

16
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,850
And you see that the
image has problems.

17
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:58,070
It's distorted, because of
the nature of the camera.

18
00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:01,480
So what I did was I
selected the image

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,450
and then I went
to image distort,

20
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:09,560
where I then tried
to undistort it.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,090
I placed the grid on top to
help me figure out actually

22
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:17,470
exactly how much
to move the image,

23
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:21,039
and played around a
little bit, and then I

24
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:22,930
think I pretty much got it.

25
00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:27,100
I went to the
cropping tool to make

26
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:30,270
it as symmetrical as possible.

27
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:35,160
And I think that after these
couple of manipulations,

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,500
we can get a more
straightforward image,

29
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,570
just moving your things
around a little bit

30
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:46,520
and just trying to make it a
truly symmetrical image, which

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,160
I think we did here.

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,550
And I want you to just take
a look at the first image

33
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:56,770
that I made and then
compare it to be more

34
00:01:56,770 --> 00:01:59,460
undistorted or fixed image.

35
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:02,190
And this is what you
can do when you're

36
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:04,630
looking at mobile
devices that you really

37
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:08,231
do distort the image,
which is not what we want.
