DeStitch
-Images on this page were destitched by QuickDeStitcher-


"Destitch" is the inverse transformation of stitching.
It means unstitching a dome master into five (in pentadivision)
or four (in quadridivision) square images, or a conversion
from a fisheye image into normal perspective images
captured with normal (rectilinear) camera lenses.

QuickDeStitcher


QuickDeStitcher converts a 180-degree azimuthal equidistant projection image
to five or four 90 x 90 degree (about 109.47-degree diagonal FOV) rectilinear images.

Destitched square images can be used as cubic environmental maps
for cubic mapping in rendering 3D computer graphics.
They also can be used as projection maps or used for camera match.
Or you might just want to remove distortion in fisheye images captured with a digital camera.

QuickDeStitcher is a Windows application to destitch.
At this time only Truevision TGA (Targa) files are acceptable as source files.
The output file format is RLE-compressed 24 or 32-bit Truevision TGA.
Only if you check "Alpha channel," the output files will be saved in 32-bit.
Source images must be square (1:1 image ratio).
