It is nice to see those curves all on one chart.  Does make you think
there could be a single universal lens model...

...and in fact I have just finished writing one.  It is designed to
drop into libpano, where it will provide a fast new projection type to
handle all images made with lenses, with all parameters (and sensible
subsets) optimizable by panotools.  It can also be used in C++
programs independently of libpano.  I'll be testing it first in
calibrate_lens.

Cheers, Tom
