beeldvervorming
Beeldvervorming, Dutch for image distortion, refers to the alteration of an image's shape or form from its original state. This can occur through various means, both intentional and unintentional. In photography and optics, lens distortion is a common cause. Barrel distortion makes straight lines appear to bulge outwards, often seen in wide-angle lenses, while pincushion distortion causes them to bend inwards, typically associated with telephoto lenses. Chromatic aberration is another optical distortion where colors fail to converge at a single point, resulting in fringed halos around objects.
Digital image processing can also introduce or correct beeldvervorming. Geometric transformations can resize, rotate, or shear
In the context of visual perception, "beeldvervorming" can also describe how the human brain interprets visual
