unwarping
Correcting bent shape
Unwarping is the process of correcting distortion—straightening something that has become bent, twisted, or misaligned.
In photography and video, unwarping removes lens distortion or perspective errors from images.
In woodworking, it means flattening warped boards.
The term appears in any context where something curved or skewed needs restoration to its proper shape: The software automatically unwarps fisheye footage.
