barrel distortion
(distortion such that a square shows with convex edges)
Barrel distortion is a type of distortion
(i.e., an aberration such that an image's shape is affected)
in the image of an optical instrument (such as a telescope),
such that a square centered in the image is distorted such that its straight
edges are (wrongly) convex.
The converse is pincushion distortion.
(telescopes,aberration)
