To see an example of what this
technique can do, look at the NASS Registry fotos of the Flandrau
Heliochronometer, dial # 464, Tucson Arizona. The first foto I took
from a ladder. The 2ond foto below it is the exact same foto
artificially corrected to compensate for the perspective distortion.
The difference is amazing!
Yep. I didn't realize this was of interest to the list, else I'da
posted a sample of my own; in this case, a mosaic from the now
destroyed Old St. Peter's in Rome, too high up on a wall, but...

which I've modified this morning to show both photos.
The result is imperfect, but is still a definite improvement.
(Yes, the URI is correct; if you get a garble, it's your e-mail
reader. Go to my Rome page, then to churches, then to S. M. in
Cosmedin.)
