Different camera models are usually employed to address specific imaging processes such as telecentric, pinhole, and radial distortion. Recently, the distorted pinhole camera model was developed, and several imaging processes were analyzed as particular cases. This paper shows that the tangential distortion is also a particular case of the distorted pinhole camera model. The mathematical principles of this generalized approach are presented, and its usefulness is illustrated by distorting test images. The results show that the distorted pinhole camera model provides an advanced mathematical framework for computer vision and optical metrology applications
