In this model the relationship between the radius of a distorted point x′ (i.e. r d = || x′ − x c||2) and the radius of an undistorted point x (i.e. r u = || x − x c||2) is formulated by the following simple equation: (7) r u = r d 1 + ξ · r d 2. After some reordering of the terms we end up with the following distortion function (8) f (r ) = r d = 2 · r 1 + 1 − 4 · ξ · r 2, with r = r u.
Instead he keeps spreading his distorted point of view, suggesting that he's completely ignorant or he's lying.
But all is fair in the comic novel: farce, punning, spoof, fictional narrators with weirdly distorted points of view — these have been stock in trade since "Don Quixote" and "Tristram Shandy".
The second-order polynomial transformation of a distorted image point [ x y ] T to the corrected image point [ x ' y ' ] T can be written in the following form: [ x ' y ' ] = [ a 00 a 10 a 01 a 11 a 20 a 02 b 00 b 10 b 01 b 11 b 20 b 02 ] [ 1 x y x y x 2 y 2 ], (10 where the distortion is represented by a and b parameters.
In this way the distorted point cloud, caused by the estimation error of the platform's motion, can be corrected by performing graph optimization.
John Folse calls it "the blackened redfish moment" — that tipping point when a distorted perception of Cajun food started spreading around the globe.
As a consequence the authors propose a parameter-free model which uses a high number of point correspondences between distorted points x′ and undistorted points x.
Some of them are detached observers, like glass surfaces and still pools; others, such as coats in store windows, are prejudiced witnesses, lynchers at heart; others, again (running water, storms), are hysterical to the point of insanity, have a distorted opinion of him, and grotesquely misinterpret his actions.
About the only positive thing that can be said for Guantánamo is it gives fearmongers a talking point to try and paint a distorted picture of President Obama as soft on terrorists because he wants to close it.
Francis goes out of his way to listen to many and varied opinions, and he wants everyone in the church to speak frankly and openly so one point of view does not dominate and give a distorted picture of reality.
