1. A wide angle video camera system comprising: a jig for obtaining measurements of field of view and amount of distortion of at least one video camera, the jig comprising at least two horizontal ribs both joining at a horizontal first point of the jig and both joining at a horizontal second point of the jig and wherein the jig further comprises at least two vertical ribs both joining at a vertical first point of the jig and both joining at a vertical second point of the jig, the at least one video camera being positioned within the jig and the jig containing a means of adjusting the tilt of the at least one video camera within the jig, the at least one video camera mounted within the jig and facing the at least two horizontal ribs and the at least two vertical ribs to generate images of the at least two horizontal ribs and the at least two vertical ribs, the at least two horizontal ribs and the at least two vertical ribs displayed in the at least one video camera with increasing distortion with increasing field of view, a central processing unit operatively receiving the images from the at least one video camera, the central processing unit utilizing measurements of distortion with increasing field of view, obtained from use of the jig and the at least one video camera, and the central processing unit processing the images from the at least one video camera to correct distortion in the images created by the at least one video camera, and a display for displaying a distortion corrected output image as a two dimensional image.
