Title: Systems and methods for simulating multiple lens distortions within a single image

Description:
FIELD 
     This disclosure relates to simulating multiple lens distortions within images. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Different types of projections may cause different pixel displacement within an image. Use of a single projection within an image may cause undesired pixel displacement within one or more portions of the image. 
     SUMMARY 
     This disclosure relates to simulating multiple lens distortions within images. Image information, multi-lens distortion information, and/or other information may be obtained. The image information may define one or more images including visual content. The visual content of an image may be defined by pixels located at input positions and/or other information. The multi-lens distortion information may identify multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image(s) and locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s). The multiple lens distortions may include a first lens distortion positioned at a first lens distortion location within the image(s), a second lens distortion positioned at a second lens distortion location within the image(s), and/or other lens distortions positions at other distortion locations within the image(s). 
     Multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image(s) may be determined based on the multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel displacement defined by a single lens distortion and/or other information. Individual boundary regions may have pixel displacement defined by a blend of at least two lens distortions and/or other information. The multiple single lens distortion regions may include a first lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the first lens distortion and a second lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the second lens distortion. The boundary region(s) may include a boundary region having pixel displacement defined by a blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion. The boundary region may be located between the first lens distortion region and the second lens distortion region. 
     The pixels of the image(s) may be shifted from the input positions to output positions based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion or within one of the boundary region(s) and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions. 
     A system that simulates multiple lens distortions within images may include one or more electronic storages, one or more processors, and/or other components. An electronic storage may store image information, information relating to images, multi-lens distortion information, information relating to lens distortions, information relating to single lens distortion regions, information relating to boundary regions, information relating to pixel displacement, information relating to a single lens distortion, information relating to a blend of lens distortions, and/or other information. 
     The processor(s) may be configured by machine-readable instructions. Executing the machine-readable instructions may cause the processor(s) to facilitate simulating multiple lens distortions within images. The machine-readable instructions may include one or more computer program components. The computer program components may include one or more of an image information component, a multi-lens distortion information component, a region component, a distort component, and/or other computer program components. 
     The image information component may be configured to obtain image information and/or other information. The image information may define one or more images. An image may include visual content. The visual content may be defined by pixels of the image located at input positions and/or other information. 
     The multi-lens distortion information component may be configured to obtain multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. The multi-lens distortion information may identify multiple lens distortions to be simulated within one or more images and locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s). The multiple lens distortions may include a first lens distortion positioned at a first lens distortion location within the image(s), a second lens distortion positioned at a second lens distortion location within the image(s), and/or other lens distortions positions at other distortion locations within the image(s). 
     In some implementations, the locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be defined by values of a pan parameter, a tilt parameter, a rotate parameter, a size parameter, and/or other parameters. In some implementations, the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion may be adjacently positioned within the image(s) such that the first lens distortion location is next to the second lens distortion location. In some implementations, the first lens distortion may be positioned within the second lens distortion such that the first lens distortion location is within the second lens distortion location. 
     In some implementations, the locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be determined based on visual content detection and/or other information. For example, the first lens distortion may use a rectilinear projection, the second lens distortion may use a stereographic projection, and the visual content detection may include horizon detection. The locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be determined based on the horizon detection such that the first lens distortion location is above or includes a horizon detected within the image(s) and the second lens distortion location is below the horizon detected within the image(s). 
     In some implementations, the first lens distortion and/or the second lens distortion may use multiple lens projections. For example, the multiple lens projections used by the first lens distortion and/or the second lens distortion include both rectilinear projection and stereographic projection, and/or other combinations of projections. 
     The region component may be configured to determine multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image based on the multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel displacement defined by a single lens distortion and/or other information, and individual boundary regions may have pixel displacement defined by a blend of at least two lens distortions and/or other information such that (1) the multiple single lens distortion regions include a first lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the first lens distortion and a second lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the second lens distortion, and (2) the boundary region(s) includes a first boundary region having pixel displacement defined by a blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion, with the first boundary region being located between the first lens distortion region and the second lens distortion region. 
     In some implementations, a blend of multiple lens distortions may be determined based on an alpha transition between lens geometric properties of the multiple lens distortions and/or other information. For example, the blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion for the first boundary region may be determined based on an alpha transition between first lens geometric properties of the first lens distortion and second lens geometric properties of the second lens distortion, and/or other information. An alpha value of the alpha transition for a pixel may be determined based on a corresponding input position within the first boundary region. 
     The distort component may be configured to shift the pixels of the image(s) from the input positions to output positions based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within (1) one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion, (2) one of the one or more boundary regions and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions, and/or other information.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       FIG.  1    illustrates a system  10  for simulating multiple lens distortions within images. The system  10  may include one or more of a processor  11 , an interface  12  (e.g., bus, wireless interface), an electronic storage  13 , and/or other components. Image information, multi-lens distortion information, and/or other information may be obtained by the processor  11 . The image information may define one or more images including visual content. The visual content of an image may be defined by pixels located at input positions and/or other information. The multi-lens distortion information may identify multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image(s) and locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s). The multiple lens distortions may include a first lens distortion positioned at a first lens distortion location within the image(s), a second lens distortion positioned at a second lens distortion location within the image(s), and/or other lens distortions positions at other distortion locations within the image(s). 
     Multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image(s) may be determined by the processor  11  based on the multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel displacement defined by a single lens distortion and/or other information. Individual boundary regions may have pixel displacement defined by a blend of at least two lens distortions and/or other information. The multiple single lens distortion regions may include a first lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the first lens distortion and a second lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the second lens distortion. The boundary region(s) may include a boundary region having pixel displacement defined by a blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion. The boundary region may be located between the first lens distortion region and the second lens distortion region. 
     The pixels of the image(s) may be shifted by the processor  11  from the input positions to output positions based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion or within one of the boundary region(s) and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions. 
     The electronic storage  13  may be configured to include electronic storage medium that electronically stores information. The electronic storage  13  may store software algorithms, information determined by the processor  11 , information received remotely, and/or other information that enables the system  10  to function properly. For example, the electronic storage  13  may store image information, information relating to images, multi-lens distortion information, information relating to lens distortions, information relating to single lens distortion regions, information relating to boundary regions, information relating to pixel displacement, information relating to a single lens distortion, information relating to a blend of lens distortions, and/or other information. 
     The processor  11  may be configured to provide information processing capabilities in the system  10 . As such, the processor  11  may comprise one or more of a digital processor, an analog processor, a digital circuit designed to process information, a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, a microcontroller, an analog circuit designed to process information, a state machine, and/or other mechanisms for electronically processing information. The processor  11  may be configured to execute one or more machine-readable instructions  100  to facilitate simulating multiple lens distortions within images. The machine-readable instructions  100  may include one or more computer program components. The machine-readable instructions  100  may include one or more of an image information component  102 , a multi-lens distortion information component  104 , a region component  106 , a distort component  108 , and/or other computer program components. 
     The image information component  102  may be configured to obtain image information and/or other information. Obtaining image information may include one or more of accessing, acquiring, analyzing, determining, examining, identifying, loading, locating, opening, receiving, retrieving, reviewing, storing, and/or otherwise obtaining the image information. The image information component  102  may obtain image information from one or more locations. For example, the image information component  102  may obtain image information from a storage location, such as the electronic storage  13 , electronic storage of a device accessible via a network, and/or other locations. The image information component  102  may obtain image information from one or more hardware components (e.g., an image sensor, electronic storage) and/or one or more software components (e.g., software running on a computing device). Image information may be stored within a single file or multiple files. 
     In some implementations, the image information component  102  may obtain image information based on user interaction with a user interface/application (e.g., image/video editing application, image/video player application), and/or other information. For example, a user interface/application may provide option(s) for a user to select one or more images in which multiple lens distortions are to be simulated. The image information defining the image(s) may be obtained based on the user&#39;s selection of the image(s) through the user interface/application. Other selections of images are contemplated. 
     The image information may define one or more images. The image information may define an image by including information that defines one or more content, qualities, attributes, features, and/or other aspects of the image. For example, the image information may define an image by including information that makes up the content of the image and/or information that is used to determine the content of the image. For instance, the image information may include information that makes up and/or is used to determine the arrangement of pixels, characteristics of pixels, values of pixels, and/or other aspects of pixels that define visual content of the image. For example, the image information may include information that makes up and/or is used to determine pixels of the image. Other types of image information are contemplated. 
     An image may include content captured by a single image capture device (e.g., image sensor, camera), multiple image capture devices, and/or one or more other capture devices (e.g., sound sensor, microphone). An image including content captured by multiple capture devices may include content captured at the same location(s), content captured at different locations, content captured at the same time(s), and/or content captured at different times. An image may include edited content. For example, an image may include content of one or more other images that have been edited into an edited image. 
     An image may include visual content. Visual content may refer to content of one or more images that may be consumed visually. For example, visual content may be included within one or more images and/or one or more video frames of a video. An image may include a standalone image, an image within a sequence of images, and/or a video frame of a video at one or more moments within a progress length of the video. A video frame may include one or more of I-frame, P-frame, B-frame, frame of pixels, and/or other video frames. Visual content may be generated based on light received within a field of view of a single image sensor or within fields of view of multiple image sensors during a capture period. 
     The visual content of an image may be defined by pixels of the image located at input positions and/or other information. An input position of a pixel may define the location of the pixel within the image. For example, an input position of a pixel within an image may define lateral and vertical locations (e.g., x-y location) of the pixel within the image. For a spherical image, an input position of a pixel may define locations of the pixel based on rotation about one or more axes (e.g., yaw axis, pitch axis, roll axis) of the sphere. 
     The pixels may have one or more visual characteristics. Visual characteristics of a pixel may refer to one or more of feature, quality, quantity, trait, property, value, measurable factor, and/or other information that characterizes one or more visual aspects of the pixel. For example, visual characteristics of a pixel may include color characteristics and/or other visual characteristics. Color characteristics may define one or more characteristics of color in RGB (red, green, blue) color space, HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) color space, HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space, and/or other color space. For example, color characteristics may include one or more of red color characteristic, green color characteristic, blue color characteristic, hue characteristic, saturation characteristic, lightness characteristic, value characteristic, and/or other color characteristics. 
     In some implementations, an image may include a wide-angle image. A wide-angle image may refer to an image captured through use of one or more wide-angle optical elements, such as one or more wide-angle lens. In some implementations, a wide-angle lens may include a viewing angle of more than about 60 degrees. 
     A wide-angle image may include a spherical image. A spherical image may include visual content viewable from one or more points of view (e.g., within a sphere, center of a sphere). Spherical visual content may be generated through capture of multiple views from a single location. Spherical visual content may be captured through the use of one or more image capture devices (e.g., image sensors, cameras) to capture images from a location. The captured images may be stitched together to form the spherical image. Visual content of a spherical image may include full spherical visual content (360 degrees of capture) or partial spherical visual content (less than 360 degrees of capture). Partial spherical visual content may be referred to as panoramic visual content. 
     Different projections of the visual content may result in different arrangement of pixels that define the visual content. How pixels of the image are arranged to form the visual content may depend on projection of the visual content. Projection of visual content may refer to how portions of the visual content/pixels are mapped onto a two-dimensional plane (e.g., two-dimensional image). For example, a projection may arrange pixels of the image such that one or more visual elements (defined by one or more pixels) of the visual content are stretched (e.g., at the top or bottom of an image arranged using an equirectangular projection). Example projections may include rectilinear projection, cylindrical projection, Mercator projection, Miller projection, Lambert projection, equirectangular projection, stereographic projection, fisheye projection, equisolid projection, orthographic projection, cubic projection, sinusoidal projection, transverse projection (rotation of a projection by 90 degrees), Panini projection, architectural projection, and/or other projections. 
     Projections may include non-distortion projections, distortion projections, and/or other projections. A non-distortion projection may refer to a projection that arranges pixels of the image such that depictions of things within the visual content is not visually distorted (e.g., stretched, warped, compressed). For example, a non-distortion projection may arrange visual elements of visual content such that a depiction of a straight line appears straight. A distortion projection may refer to a projection that arranges pixels of the image such that one or more depictions of things within the visual content are visually distorted (e.g., stretched, warped, compressed). A distortion projection may distort the depictions of things linearly or non-linearly (e.g., as a function of input positions of the pixels). A distortion projection may distort the depictions of things uniformly or non-uniformly. 
     Projection of visual content may be used for visual content presentation, visual content storage, and/or other use of the visual content. For example, different projections of the visual content may be used to present different views (e.g., non-distorted view, distorted view) of the visual content. Different projections of the visual content may be used to store the visual content with different views. For example, rectilinear projection may be used to arrange pixels of the image such that a depiction of a straight line appears straight within the visual content while equirectangular projection may be used to arrange pixels of the image such that only vertical lines and center horizontal lines appear straight while other lines appear curved within presentation of the visual content. 
       FIG.  3 A  illustrates example visual content  300  of a spherical image. As shown in  FIG.  3 A , the spherical image may include the visual content  300  viewable from one or more points of view, such as the center of the sphere. One or more portions or entirely of the visual content  300  may be viewed at a time. For example, a viewing window  310  may define one or more extents of the visual content  300  and the extent(s) of the visual content  300  within the viewing window may be presented (e.g., punched out). Use of non-distortion projection (e.g., rectilinear projection) may provide non-distorted view of the extent(s) of visual content  300  within the viewing window/punchout. 
       FIG.  3 B  illustrates example visual content  350  (e.g., spherical visual content) projected using equirectangular projection. The use of the equirectangular projection may cause different displacement of pixels defining the visual elements as a function of the input positions of the pixels to cause different distortions of the visual elements. The visual content  350  may include a center portion in which visual elements are not distorted based on use of the equirectangular projection. For example, the visual elements of the visual content  350  along the center  354  may not be stretched, warped, compressed, and/or otherwise distorted based on use of the equirectangular projection. Visual elements in other parts of the visual content  350  may be distorted based on use of the equirectangular projection. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 B , visual elements further away from the center  354  may be more stretched than other visual elements based on use of the equirectangular projection. Visual elements located at the top  352  and the bottom  356  may be stretched most. 
     Use of a single projection within an image may not be desirable. For example, use of a single projection to arrange pixels of the image for presentation may result in undesired pixel displacement within one or more portions of the image. For instance, a projection may be used for pixels of a spherical image to simulate the image/portion of the image within a viewing window having been captured by a virtual lens with virtual lens distortions (e.g., fisheye lens, rectilinear lens, stereographic lens). The virtual lens distortions (caused by geometric properties of the virtual lens) may result in undesired distortion in one or more parts of the image. A single projection/signal lens distortion may be inadequate to present a desired view of the image. For example, in a spherical image, it may be desirable for different portions of the image to be presented using different projections/lens distortions so that different portions of the image are presented with different curvature. For instance, it may be desirable for near objects captured in the spherical image to be presented using a wider field of view with greater curvature than distant objects captured in the spherical image. 
     The multi-lens distortion information component  104  may be configured to obtain multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Obtaining multi-lens distortion information may include one or more of accessing, acquiring, analyzing, determining, examining, identifying, loading, locating, opening, receiving, retrieving, reviewing, storing, and/or otherwise obtaining the multi-lens distortion information. The multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information from one or more locations. For example, the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information from a storage location, such as the electronic storage  13 , electronic storage of a device accessible via a network, and/or other locations. The multi-lens distortion information component  10   r  may obtain multi-lens distortion information from one or more hardware components (e.g., computing device, electronic storage) and/or one or more software components (e.g., software running on a computing device). Multi-lens distortion information may be stored within a single file or multiple files. 
     In some implementations, the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information based on user interaction with a user interface/application (e.g., image/video editing application, image/video player application), and/or other information. For example, a user interface/application may provide option(s) for a user to select one or more of the multiple lens distortions to be simulated within an image, location of one or more of the multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image, the number of lens distortions to be simulated within the image, and/or other aspects of the multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image. Other selections of the multi-lens distortion information are contemplated. 
     In some implementation, the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information based on the image information and/or the image information component  102  obtaining the image information. For example, the multi-lens distortion information may be associated with the image/image information obtained by the image information component  102 , and the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain the associated multi-lens distortion information based on obtaining of the image information. The multi-lens distortion information may be included within metadata of the obtained image, and the multi-lens distortion information may be obtained based on obtaining (e.g., selection, retrieval) of the image. The multi-lens distortion information may be included within the image information, and the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information by extracting the multi-lens distortion information from the image information. 
     In some implementations, the multi-lens distortion information component  104  may obtain multi-lens distortion information based on analysis of the image information and/or the image(s) defined by the image information. For example, visual content detection (e.g., object detection, scene detection, activity detection) may be performed and the number, the type, and/or the locations of the multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image may be determined based on the results of the visual content detection (e.g., object, scene, and/or activity detected within the visual content). For instance, based on the image including depiction of a person below a horizon, a stereographic lens distortion may be determined for the portion of the image including the depiction of the person and a rectilinear lens distortion may be determine for the portion of the image above and/or including the horizon. 
     The multi-lens distortion information may identify multiple lens distortions to be simulated within one or more images and locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s). Multiple lens distortions to be simulated within an image may include two or more lens distortions. For example, the multiple lens distortions may include a first lens distortion positioned at a first lens distortion location within an image, a second lens distortion positioned at a second lens distortion location within the image, and/or other lens distortions positions at other distortion locations within the image. The multi-lens distortion information may identify separate lens distortions to be simulated within different portions of an image. The multiple lens distortions identified by the multi-lens distortion information may define different distortions of pixels within an image. A distortion of pixels within an image may refer to changing of the pixels based on one or more characteristics of the pixels, such as based on input pixel locations and/or one or more visual characteristics of the pixels. 
     For example, the multiple lens distortions identified by the multi-lens distortion information may be use different projections, curvatures, and/or mathematical models to define different pixel displacements (e.g., pixel movement, pixel warping, pixel stretching, pixel compression, pixel changes) within different portions of the image(s) and simulate different lens distortions within different portions of the image(s). The multiple lens distortions identified by the multi-lens distortion information may use different visual characteristic transformations to define different changes in the visual characteristics of the pixels in different portions of the image(s) and simulate different lens distortions within different portions of the image(s). Other distortions of pixels by the lens distortions are contemplated. 
     The multi-lens distortion information may identify the multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image(s) by identifying (e.g., establishing, indicating, defining, specifying) the types of the multiple lens distortions, the different projections used by the multiple lens distortions, curvatures of the multiple lens distortions, mathematical models that define pixel displacements of the multiple lens distortions, geometric properties of the multiple lens distortions, and/or visual characteristic transformations of the multiple lens distortions. Other identifications of the multiple lens distortions by the multi-lens distortion information are contemplated. 
     A projection, curvature, mathematical model, and/or visual characteristic transformation of a lens distortion may be defined by one or more lens geometric properties of the lens distortion. A lens geometric property of a lens distortion may refer to properties of a lens that affects arrangement of pixels to define images seen through the lens. For example, a lens geometric property may include one or more of lens shape, lens material, lens polynomials (e.g., polynomial lens distortion model), lens field of view, and/or other properties of the lens/lens distortion. 
     In some implementations, one or more of the multiple lens distortions may use multiple lens projections. For example, the first lens distortion and/or the second lens distortion may individually use multiple lens projections for different areas of the image, rather than using a single lens projection. The multiple lens projections used by the first lens distortion and/or the second lens distortion include both rectilinear projection and stereographic projection, and/or other combinations of different projections. 
     In some implementations, the projections used by a lens distortion may be defined by values of a lens projection parameter, and/or other parameters. A lens projection parameter may define which of the multiple lens projections are used at a particular location within the lens distortion. For example, a projection parameter may define, for a location within the lens distortion, which lens polynomials will be used to determine pixel displacement (e.g., pixel movement, pixel warping, pixel stretching, pixel compression, pixel changes) and simulate a virtual lens that includes characteristics of multiple types of lens. 
     The locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may define positioning of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s). The multi-lens distortion information may identify the locations of the multiple lens distortions by identifying center locations (where individual lens distortions are centered/directed at in the image(s) and how far and/or in what directions the multiple lens distortions extend from the center locations. The multi-lens distortion information may identify the locations of the multiple lens distortions by identifying boundaries of the multiple lens distortions. The multi-lens distortion information may identify the locations of the multiple lens distortions by identify strength/application of the multiple lens distortions are different portions within the image. Other identifications of the locations of the multiple lens distortions by the multi-lens distortion information are contemplated. 
     In some implementations, the locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be defined by values of a pan parameter, a tilt parameter, a rotate parameter, a size parameter, and/or other parameters. A pan parameter may define lateral location of a lens distortion within the image. For example, a pan parameter may define the lateral location of a lens distortion (e.g., where center location of the lens distortion is laterally located) based on position on a lateral axis (e.g., x-axis) and/or based on rotation about a lateral location axis (e.g., yaw axis). A tilt parameter may define vertical location of a lens distortion within the image. For example, a tilt parameter may define the vertical location of a lens distortion (e.g., where center location of the lens distortion is vertically located) based on position on a vertical axis (e.g., y-axis) and/or based on rotation about a vertical location axis (e.g., pitch axis). A rotate parameter may define rotation of a lens distortion within the image. For example, a rotation parameter may define rotation of the lens distortion about the lateral and vertical locations of the lens distortion (e.g., x-y location) and/or based on rotation about a roll axis (e.g., how the lens distortion is rotated about the center location). A size parameter may define the size (field of view, shape, zoom) of a lens distortion within the image. For example, a size parameter may define how far from the center location of the lens distortion the lens distortion extends. The size parameter may define scaling of a regular or fixed shape (e.g., circle, square) of the lens distortion within the image or define an arbitrary shape of the lens distortion within the image. For instance, the size parameter may define a fixed shape of the lens distortion used within the image, a regular shape of the lens distortion selected by a user or determined based on visual content detection, and/or an arbitrary shape of the lens distortion selected by the user or determined based on visual content detection. 
     Locations of multiple lens distortions may define a particular arrangement of lens distortions within the image(s). Different combination of locations (relative locations) of multiple lens distortions may define different arrangements of lens distortions within the image(s). For example, the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion may be adjacently positioned (e.g., left and right, top and bottom, opposing corners) within the image(s) such that the first lens distortion location is next to the second lens distortion location. As another example, the first lens distortion may be positioned within the second lens distortion (e.g., concentric, non-concentric) such that the first lens distortion location is within the second lens distortion location. Other arrangements of lens distortions are contemplated. 
     In some implementations, the locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be determined based on visual content detection and/or other information. For example, the first lens distortion may use a rectilinear projection (e.g., rectilinear lens distortion), the second lens distortion may use a stereographic projection (stereographic lens distortion), and the visual content detection may include horizon detection. The locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image(s) may be determined based on the horizon detection such that the first lens distortion location (for the rectilinear lens distortion) is above or includes a horizon detected within the image(s) and the second lens distortion location (for the stereographic lens distortion) is below the horizon detected within the image(s). Such locations of the multiple lens distortions may enable a wide view of the person depicted within the image via greater curvature with a less distorted view of the horizon/distant objects via less curvature. 
     The region component  106  may be configured to determine multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image based on the multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel distortion (e.g., pixel displacement, visual characteristic transformation) defined by a single lens distortion and/or other information. Individual boundary regions may have pixel distortion (e.g., pixel displacement, visual characteristic transformation) defined by a blend of multiple (at least two) lens distortions and/or other information. Individual boundary regions may have pixel distortion defined by a blend of multiple lens distortions surrounding/adjacent to the individual boundary regions. Pixel displacement may refer to change (e.g., movement, warping, stretching, compressing) of a pixel from an input position to an output position. An output position of a pixel may define the location of the pixel within the image after application of the corresponding lens distortion. Visual characteristic transformation may refer to change in visual characteristic(s) of one or more pixels, such as change in one or more color characteristics of pixel(s) from original value(s) value to different value(s) (e.g., transition of one color to another, transition of color value within a color range to another value within a different color range). 
     A single lens distortion region may refer to a region of the image in which pixel distortion (e.g., pixel displacement, visual characteristic transformation) is defined by a single lens distortion. For example, in a single lens distortion region, arrangement of pixels and/or changes in visual characteristics of the pixel may be determined based on a single lens distortion rather than multiple lens distortions. In a single lens distortion region, the pixels may be changed (e.g., moved, warped, stretched, compressed) from their input locations to their output locations based on a single lens distortion rather than multiple lens distortions. In a single lens distortion region, the visual characteristics of the pixels may be changed from their original values to other values based on a single lens distortion rather than multiple lens distortions. 
     A boundary region may be located between multiple single lens distortion regions. A boundary region may refer to a region of the image in which pixel distortion (e.g., pixel displacement, visual characteristic transformation) is defined by a blend of multiple lens distortions surrounding/adjacent to the boundary region. For example, in a boundary region, arrangement of pixels and/or changes in visual characteristics of the pixel may be determined based on multiple lens distortions rather than a single lens distortion. In a boundary region, the pixels may be changed from their input locations to their output locations based on multiple lens distortions rather than a single lens distortion. In a boundary region, the visual characteristics of the pixels may be changed from their original values to other values based on multiple lens distortions rather than a single lens distortion. 
     For example, the multiple single lens distortion regions may include a first lens distortion region having pixel displacement and/or visual characteristic transformation defined by the first lens distortion and a second lens distortion region having pixel displacement and/or visual characteristic transformation defined by the second lens distortion. The boundary region(s) may include a first boundary region located between the first lens distortion region and the second lens distortion region. The first boundary region may have pixel displacement and/or visual characteristic transformation defined by a blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion. 
     Determination of multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image based on the multi-lens distortion information may include determination of where individual single lens distortion regions and individual boundary regions are positioned within the image based on the multi-lens distortion information. For example, the region component  106  may be configured to determine the center location of a single lens distortion region based on the center location of the corresponding lens distortion identified by the multi-lens distortions information, and may be configured to determine how far and/or in what directions the single lens distortion region extend from the center locations of the single lens distortion regions based on the multi-lens distortion information identifying how far and/or in what directions the corresponding lens distortion extend from its center location. The region component  106  may be configured to determine the boundary of a single lens distortion region based on the multi-lens distortion information identifying boundary of the corresponding lens distortion. 
       FIGS.  4 A,  4 B,  4 C, and  4 D  illustrate example locations of multiple lens distortions within images.  FIG.  4 A  shows example center locations  402 ,  404  of two single lens distortions within an image  400 .  FIGS.  4 B and  4 C  illustrate different arrangements of single lens distortion regions based on the center locations  402 ,  404  of two single lens distortions within an image  400 . In  FIG.  4 B , a single lens distortion region  412  (centered at the center location  402 ) may be positioned within a single lens distortion region  414  (centered at the center location  404 ) based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  412  being positioned within the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  414 . In  FIG.  4 C , a single lens distortion region  422  (centered at the center location  402 ) and a single lens distortion region  424  (centered at the center location  404 ) may be adjacently positioned (left-right, laterally) within the image  400  based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  422  and the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  424  being adjacently positioned (left-right, laterally) within the image.  FIG.  4 D  illustrates another example arrangement of single lens distortion regions where a single lens distortion region  432  and a single lens distortion region  434  are adjacently positioned (top-bottom, vertically) within an image  430 . Other numbers and arrangements of single lens distortion regions are contemplated. 
     The region component  106  may be configured to determine locations of one or more boundary regions within an image based on arrangement of single lens distortion regions and/or other information. A boundary and/or an interface between multiple (two or more) single lens distortion regions may be determined to be a boundary region. For example, a region between two or more single lens distortion regions may be determined to be a boundary region. A region in which two or more single lens distortions region overlap may be determined to be a boundary region. Determination of a location of a boundary region may include determination of where the boundary region is located within the image, the shape of the boundary region within the image, and/or the size of the boundary region within the image. In some implementations, one or more user inputs may be used to determine/modify the location, shape, and/or size of a boundary region within the image. 
       FIGS.  5 A and  5 B  illustrate example single lens distortion regions and boundary regions within images.  FIG.  5 A  illustrate an example boundary region  502  based on the arrangement of the signal lens distortions regions  412 ,  414  within the image  400  as shown in  FIG.  4 B . The boundary region  502  may be located between the single lens distortion regions  412 ,  414 . The boundary region  502  may be determined at the boundary and/or the interface between the single lens distortion regions  412 ,  414 . The boundary region  502  may be determined at the region of the image  400  where the single lens distortion regions  412 ,  414  overlap (begins to overlap). The boundary region  502  may have a circular shape and may have a thickness (size) of d. 
       FIG.  5 B  illustrate an example boundary region  504  based on the arrangement of the signal lens distortions regions  432 ,  434  within the image  430  as shown in  FIG.  4 D . The boundary region  504  may be located between the single lens distortion regions  432 ,  434 . The boundary region  504  may be determined at the boundary and/or the interface between the single lens distortion regions  432 ,  434 . The boundary region  504  may be determined at the region of the image  430  where the single lens distortion regions  432 ,  434  overlap. The boundary region  504  may have a rectangular shape and may have a height (size) of d. Other boundary regions are contemplated. 
     The distort component  108  may be configured to distort the pixels of the image(s) based on locations of the pixels within (1) one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion, (2) one of the one or more boundary regions and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions, and/or other information. For example, the distort component  108  may be configured to shift the pixels of the image(s) from their input positions to output positions based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within (1) one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion, (2) one of the one or more boundary regions and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions, and/or other information. The distort component  108  may be configured to change visual characteristics of the pixels from their original values to other values based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within (1) one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion, (2) one of the one or more boundary regions and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions, and/or other information. Other distortions of pixels based on locations of the pixels within a single lens distortion region or a boundary region are contemplated. 
     For pixels located within a single lens distortion region, the distort component  108  may distort the pixels based on the corresponding single lens distortion. For example, in  FIG.  5 A , pixels within the single lens distortion region  412  may be distorted (pixel positions/visual characteristics changed) based on the corresponding single lens distortion. Pixels within the single lens distortion region  414  may be distorted based on the corresponding single lens distortion. In  FIG.  5 B , pixels within the single lens distortion region  432  may be distorted (pixel positions/visual characteristics changed) based on the corresponding single lens distortion. Pixels within the single lens distortion region  434  may be distorted based on the corresponding single lens distortion. 
     For pixels located within a boundary region, the distort component  108  may distort the pixels based on the blend of multiple corresponding lens distortions. The multiple lens distortions corresponding to a boundary region may include multiple lens distortions surrounding/adjacent to the boundary region. For example, in  FIG.  5 A , pixels within the boundary region  502  may be distorted (pixel positions/visual characteristics changed) based on the blend of the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  412  and the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  414 . The blend of the multiple correspond lens distortion may result in pixel distortions in the boundary region  502  morphing from pixel distortion corresponding to one of the lens distortions to another of the lens distortions. In  FIG.  5 B , pixels within the boundary region  504  may be distorted (pixel positions/visual characteristics changed) based on the blend of the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  432  and the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  434 . The blend of the multiple correspond lens distortion may result in pixel distortions in the boundary region  504  morphing from pixel distortion corresponding to one of the lens distortions to another of the lens distortions. 
     Such use of the blend of lens distortion may facilitate continuous distortion of pixels within image(s) such that different lens distortions simulated within the image(s) smoothly changes into other lens distortions. Without blending of the lens distortions, simulation of multiple lens distortions within the image may cause discontinuities in the visual content (e.g., break in continuity of visual elements/visual characteristics between different single lens distortions regions). 
     In some implementations, a blend of multiple lens distortions may be determined based on an alpha transition between lens geometric properties of the multiple lens distortions and/or other information. For example, the blend of two corresponding lens distortions (first lens distortion, second lens distortion) for a boundary region may be determined based on an alpha transition between lens geometric properties of the two corresponding lens distortions (first lens geometric properties of the first lens distortion, second lens geometric properties of the second lens distortion), and/or other information. An alpha transition between lens geometric properties of lens distortions may determine, for a pixel located within a boundary region, the impact and/or the weight of different projections, curvatures, mathematical models, visual characteristic transformations, lens shape, lens materials, lens polynomials, lens field of view, and/or other properties of the lens distortions on the distortion of the pixel. An alpha transition between lens geometric properties of lens distortions may enable mixing/blending of coefficients of the lens geometric properties, and facilitate blending/transition from one lens distortion to another lens distortion (e.g., from one mathematical model/lens polynomial to another mathematical model/lens polynomial) for distorting pixels, and facilitate, within the boundary region, continuous distortion of pixels from one single lens distortion region to another single lens distortion region. 
     An alpha transition may be determined based on an alpha value. For example, an alpha transition between values of two lens distortions, distortion and distortion B, may be determined as: AlphaValue*DistortionAValue+(1−AlphaValue)*(DistortionBValue). The alpha value of the alpha transition for a pixel may be determined based on a corresponding input position of the pixel located within the boundary region. For example, a pixel located within a boundary region, the alpha value may be determined based on the input position of the pixel within the boundary region, and the distortion of the pixel (e.g., output position of the pixel, zoom of the pixel, rotation of the pixel) may be determined as a blend of separate distortions of the pixel defined by separate lens distortions, with the impact and/or the weight of the separate distortions being determined by the alpha value. Other determinations of alpha transition are contemplated. 
     In some implementations, the alpha value may range between zero and one. Changes in the alpha value between zero and one may be determined based on the input position of the pixel located within the boundary region. For example, in  FIG.  5 A , the alpha value of the pixel located at the inner edge of the boundary region  502  (at the boundary of the single lens distortion region  412 ) may be zero or one, and the alpha value of the pixel located at the outer edge of the boundary region  502  (at the boundary of the single lens distortion region  414 ) may be one or zero, respectively. Such changes in the alpha value may result in the pixel located at the inner edge of the boundary region  502  being distorted based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  412 , the pixel located at the outer edge of the boundary region  502  being distorted based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  414 , and the pixels located within the inner and outer edges of the boundary region  502  being distorted based on the blend/mix of the multiple lens distortions corresponding to the single lens distortion regions  412 ,  414 , with the blend/mix changing from one lens distortion to the other lens distortion. 
     As another example, in  FIG.  5 B , the alpha value of the pixel located at the top edge of the boundary region  504  (at the boundary of the single lens distortion region  432 ) may be zero or one, and the alpha value of the pixel located at the bottom edge of the boundary region  504  (at the boundary of the single lens distortion region  434 ) may be one or zero, respectively. Such changes in the alpha value may result in the pixel located at the top edge of the boundary region  504  being distorted based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  432 , the pixel located at the bottom edge of the boundary region  504  being distorted based on the lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  434 , and the pixels located within the top and bottom edges of the boundary region  504  being distorted based on the blend/mix of the multiple lens distortions corresponding to the single lens distortion regions  432 ,  434 , with the blend/mix changing from one lens distortion to the other lens distortion. 
     In some implementation, the changes in the alpha value within the boundary region may include non-linear changes. Non-linear changes of the alpha value may result in more natural looking blending of the multiple lens distortions than linear changes of the alpha value. For example,  FIGS.  6 A and  6 B  illustrate example alpha value curves  600 ,  650  for alpha transitions. The curves  600 ,  650  may turn input positions of the pixels within a boundary region (image/screen position) into a value between zero and one. 
     In  FIG.  6 A , the alpha value may change as a function of the input position of the pixel within a boundary region, with the alpha value being defined by the curve  600 . The curve  600  may include a sinusoidal curve (e.g., rising portion of a sine curve) with the alpha value changing at a slower rate for the input positions of the pixel near an edge of the boundary region versus and changing at a faster rate for the input positions of the pixels in the middle of the boundary region. In  FIG.  6 B , the alpha value may change as a function of the input position of the pixel within a boundary region, with the alpha value being defined by the curve  650 . The curve  600  may include a sinusoidal curve that includes multiple local maximums and minimums and cause ripple effect within the resulting distortion. Other curves defining alpha values are contemplated. 
       FIG.  7 A  illustrates an example view  702  of an image with a single lens distortion simulation. The image may include a spherical image. The spherical image may include spherical visual content. The view  702  may include a portion of the spherical visual content. For example, the view  702  may include a front portion of the spherical visual content within a viewing window/punchout. The view  702  may generated by using a wide-angle projection (wide-angle distortion) of the front portion of the spherical visual content on a two-dimensional plane. The wide-angle projection may cause a larger field of view (e.g., wide field of view) of the spherical visual content to be included within the view  702  than if a non-wide angle projection were used. The wide-angle projection may cause straight line in the scene to appear curved in the view  702 , with curvature becoming greater towards the edges of the view  702 . 
       FIGS.  7 B,  7 C,  7 D, and  7 E  illustrate example views  704 ,  706 ,  708 ,  710  of spherical images with multiple lens distortions simulation. In  FIG.  7 B , the view  704  may be generated using two lens distortions that are vertically placed within the view  704 . The lower portion of the view  704  including the depiction of the center vehicle may be generated using a wide-field of view distortion to maintain the view of the center vehicle seen in the view  702 . The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the lower portion may be determined based on the wide-field of view distortion. The upper portion of the view  704  may be generated using a rectilinear distortion such that straight line appears straight in the upper portion of the view  704 . The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the upper portion may be determined based on the rectilinear distortion. The middle portion of the view  704  may be generated using a blend of the wide-field of view distortion and the rectilinear distortion. The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the middle portion may be determined based on a blend of the wide-field of view distortion and the rectilinear distortion. 
     In  FIG.  7 C , the view  706  may be generated using two lens distortions that are laterally placed within the view  706 , the with two lens distortions causing different amount of curvature. The view  706  may include a punchout of the spherical image that is rotated by 45 degrees. The lower-left portion of the view  706  may be generated using a lens distortion that causes curvature while the upper right portion of the view may be generated using a lens distortion that does not cause curvature. The interface between the lower-left portion and the upper-right portion of the view  706  may be generated based on a blend of the curvature lens distortion and non-curvature lens distortion. 
     In  FIG.  7 D , the view  708  may be generated using two lens distortions that are vertically placed within the view  708 , with the two lens distortion causing different amount of zoom. The lower portion of the view  708  may be generated using a lens distortion that causes zooming while the upper portion of the view may be generated based on a lens distortion that does not cause zooming. The interface between the lower portion and the upper portion of the view may be generated based on a blend of the zoom lens distortion and non-zoom lens distortion. 
     In  FIG.  7 E , the view  710  may be generated using two lens distortions that are vertically placed within the view  710 . The view  706  may include the entire spherical image. The upper portion of the view  710  may be generated using a rectilinear distortion such that straight line appears straight in the upper portion of the view  710 . The lower portion of the view  710  may be generated using a stereographic distortion (e.g., little planet distortion) to include the rest of the spherical image within the lower portion. The rest of the spherical image may be wrapped around a point in the lower portion of the view  710  to generate a little planet view. The lower portion of the view  710  may include depictions of the center vehicle, the sky, and vehicles following the center vehicle. The interface between the lower portion and the upper portion of the view may be generated based on a blend of the rectilinear lens distortion and stereographic lens distortion. 
       FIG.  8    illustrates an example view  800  of an image with multiple lens distortions simulation. The image may include a wide-angle image that was captured from top of the skier&#39;s head depicted in the center of the view  800 . In  FIG.  8   , the view  800  may be generated using two lens distortions that are vertically placed within the view  800 . The upper portion of the view  800  including the depiction of the mountain range may be generated using a rectilinear distortion such that straight line appears straight in the upper portion of the view  800  (limit warping/minimization of the mountain range). The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the upper portion may be determined based on the rectilinear distortion. The lower portion of the view  800  including the depiction of the skier may be generated using a stereographic distortion to provide a wide view of the skier. The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the lower portion may be determined based on the stereographic distortion. The middle portion of the view  800  (including or below the horizon) may be generated using a blend of the rectilinear distortion and the stereographic distortion. For example, the horizon in the image may be used as a dividing line or used to determine the location of the dividing line for performing blending between the rectilinear distortion and the stereographic distortion. The arrangement (e.g., shifting/displacement) of pixels within the middle portion may be determined based on a blend of the rectilinear distortion and the stereographic distortion. 
       FIG.  9 A  illustrates an example arrangement of single lens distortion regions  902 ,  904  and a boundary region  906 . The inner single lens distortion region  902  may correspond to a single lens distortion centered in a circle  900 . The circle  900  may correspond to an image circle of an image sensor. The outer single lens distortion region  904  may correspond to another single lens distortion centered in the circle  900 . The size of the single lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  904  may be larger than the size of the single lens distortion corresponding to the single lens distortion region  902 . The boundary region  906  may be located between the single lens distortion regions  902 ,  904 . The boundary region  906  may be determined at the boundary and/or the interface between the single lens distortion regions  902 ,  904 . The boundary region  906  may be determined at the region of the circle  900  where the single lens distortion regions  902 ,  904  overlap (begins to overlap). The boundary region  906  may have a circular shape. 
       FIG.  9 B  illustrates example projections simulated using multiple lens distortions shown in  FIG.  9 A . The projections corresponding to different regions  902 ,  904 ,  906  may be merged into a mixed projection  950 , with the projection being used determined based on location along an image sensor radius. The mixed projection may utilize a projection A  952  (corresponding to the projection of the inner single lens distortion region  902 ) for inner portion of the image circle and a projection B  954  (corresponding to the projection of the outer single lens distortion region  904 ) for the outer portion of the image circle. The projection A  952  and the projection B  954  may not meet or may meet at a sharp angle. Transitioning between the projection A  952  and the projection B  954  may cause noticeable distortion and/or discontinuities within the image. 
     A blended projection  956  (corresponding to the projection of the boundary region  906 ) may be generated as a blend of the projection A  952  and the projection B  954 . The blended projection  956  may change from the projection A  952  to the projection B  954  as a function of the image sensor radius to smoothly connect/join the projection A  952  to the projection B  954  into a single curvature. Use of the blended projection  956  may facilitate continuous distortion of pixels within the image such that different lens distortions simulated within the image circle smoothly changes into other lens distortions. For example, the projection A  952  may include a rectilinear projection and the projection B  954  may include a stereographic projection. As field of view becomes larger, the projection may change from rectilinear projection to stereographic projection through the blended projection  956 . Use of such combinations of projection may facilitate a virtual lens with a single curvature that provides a rectilinear view when zoomed in and provides a stereographic view when zoomed out. Other combinations of projections are contemplated.

The electronic storage  13  may include one or more of optically readable storage media (e.g., optical disks, etc.), magnetically readable storage media (e.g., magnetic tape, magnetic hard drive, floppy drive, etc.), electrical charge-based storage media (e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, RAM, etc.), solid-state storage media (e.g., flash drive, etc.), and/or other electronically readable storage media. The electronic storage  13  may be a separate component within the system  10 , or the electronic storage  13  may be provided integrally with one or more other components of the system  10  (e.g., the processor  11 ). Although the electronic storage  13  is shown in  FIG.  1    as a single entity, this is for illustrative purposes only. In some implementations, the electronic storage  13  may comprise a plurality of storage units. These storage units may be physically located within the same device, or the electronic storage  13  may represent storage functionality of a plurality of devices operating in coordination. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates method  200  for simulating multiple lens distortions within images. The operations of method  200  presented below are intended to be illustrative. In some implementations, method  200  may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. In some implementations, two or more of the operations may occur substantially simultaneously. 
     In some implementations, method  200  may be implemented in one or more processing devices (e.g., a digital processor, an analog processor, a digital circuit designed to process information, a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, a microcontroller, an analog circuit designed to process information, a state machine, and/or other mechanisms for electronically processing information). The one or more processing devices may include one or more devices executing some or all of the operation of method  200  in response to instructions stored electronically on one or more electronic storage media. The one or more processing devices may include one or more devices configured through hardware, firmware, and/or software to be specifically designed for execution of one or more of the operations of method  200 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  2    and method  200 , at operation  201 , image information may be obtained. The image information may define an image including visual content. The visual content of the image may be defined by pixels located at input positions and/or other information. In some implementation, operation  201  may be performed by a processor component the same as or similar to the image information component  102  (Shown in  FIG.  1    and described herein). 
     At operation  202 , multi-lens distortion information may be obtained. The multi-lens distortion information may identify multiple lens distortions to be simulated within the image and locations of the multiple lens distortions within the image. The multiple lens distortions may include a first lens distortion positioned at a first lens distortion location within the image(s), a second lens distortion positioned at a second lens distortion location within the image(s), and/or other lens distortions positions at other distortion locations within the image. In some implementation, operation  202  may be performed by a processor component the same as or similar to the multi-lens distortion information component  104  (Shown in  FIG.  1    and described herein). 
     At operation  203 , multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions within the image may be determined based on the multi-lens distortion information and/or other information. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel displacement defined by a single lens distortion and/or other information. Individual boundary regions may have pixel displacement defined by a blend of at least two lens distortions and/or other information. The multiple single lens distortion regions may include a first lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the first lens distortion and a second lens distortion region having pixel displacement defined by the second lens distortion. The boundary region(s) may include a boundary region having pixel displacement defined by a blend of the first lens distortion and the second lens distortion. The boundary region may be located between the first lens distortion region and the second lens distortion region. In some implementation, operation  203  may be performed by a processor component the same as or similar to the region component  106  (Shown in  FIG.  1    and described herein). 
     At operation  204 , the pixels of the image may be shifted from the input positions to output positions based on locations of the input positions of the pixels within one of the multiple single lens distortion region and a corresponding single lens distortion or within one of the boundary region(s) and a blend of at least two corresponding lens distortions. In some implementation, operation  204  may be performed by a processor component the same as or similar to the distort component  108  (Shown in  FIG.  1    and described herein). 
     Although the system(s) and/or method(s) of this disclosure have been described in detail for the purpose of illustration based on what is currently considered to be the most practical and preferred implementations, it is to be understood that such detail is solely for that purpose and that the disclosure is not limited to the disclosed implementations, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover modifications and equivalent arrangements that are within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. For example, it is to be understood that the present disclosure contemplates that, to the extent possible, one or more features of any implementation can be combined with one or more features of any other implementation.
