Distortion (optics)

In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image. It is a form of optical aberration.

Not to be confused with spherical aberration, a loss of image sharpness that can result from spherical lens surfaces.
