Claim One:
1. A method comprising: providing a digital representation of a wide-angle image; identifying a first substantially straight line of pixels as will correspond to a compensated image of the wide-angle image; identifying a first substantially curved line of pixels in the digital representation of the wide-angle image as directly correlate to the first substantially straight line of pixels; identifying, for a given point for a given pixel in the first substantially straight line of pixels, a corresponding point in the first substantially curved line of pixels as a function, at least in part, of an intersection of the first substantially curved line of pixels with a second line of pixels in the wide-angle image by: identifying a second substantially straight line of pixels as will also correspond to the compensated image of the wide-angle image, wherein the second substantially straight line of pixels intersects with the first substantially straight line of pixels at a point of intersection; and at least one of: identifying a second substantially curved line of pixels in the digital representation of the wide-angle image as directly correlates to the second substantially straight line of pixels; identifying an intersection of the first and second substantially curved line of pixels by tracing the first and second substantially curved lines of pixels using a scan-rasterization algorithm; using the intersection of the first and second substantially curved line of pixels as the corresponding point to thereby facilitate identifying the given point for the given pixel; and identifying a substantially straight line of pixels in the digital representation of the wide-angle image as directly correlates to the second substantially straight line of pixels; using an intersection of the first substantially curved line of pixels and the substantially straight line of pixels in the digital representation of the wide-angle image as the corresponding point to thereby facilitate identifying the given point for the given pixel.
