The article deals with the correction (form recovery and true mutual disposition of objects) algorithm of projective image distortion at low altitude photo/video shooting, based on a mathematical model of virtual camera. The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of given algorithm with correction algorithm based on finding corresponding points (vertices of n-gon, describing object contour). Correction quality criteria – maximum absolute value of difference between the angles of n-gon in the images without projective distortions and after the correction is introduced. Experimental results with calibrated web-camera Logitech C270 showed that having relative error of distance estimation to shooting surface, as well as camera pitch and roll not more than 5% then correction algorithm with virtual camera provides absolute error of reduced object
form not more than 3°.
