unwarp
Flatten bent material
To unwarp is to restore something that has warped back to its original flat or straight condition.
Wood, plastic, or metal that has bent or twisted from heat or moisture might be unwarped through careful treatment.
In computing and media, unwarp refers to correcting distortion in images or video: The software can unwarp fisheye lens footage.
The word implies reversing deformation rather than preventing it.
