Method for correcting wide-angle camera lens distortion of automatic teller machine (ATM)

The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular relating to a method for correcting wide-angle camera lens distortion of an automatic teller machine (ATM). The method comprises the following steps: establishing a database in accordance with correction parameters for the wide-angle camera lens distortions of ATMs of different types from different manufacturers; shooting a wide-angle image in a scene containing a plurality of straight lines; manually extracting curves in the image; determining a group of optimal correction parameters for the wide-angle camera lens of the ATM; and correcting the wide-angle image in accordance with the optimal parameters. By utilizing the method provided by the invention, the optimal correction parameters can be acquired fast and accurately, and the wide-angle lens images can be accurately corrected based on the optimal parameters.
