1. Within a digital image acquisition system comprising a non-linear, wide-angled lens and an imaging sensor, a method of enhancing a scene containing one or more off-center peripheral regions, the method comprising: using a processor; acquiring an initial distorted image with a large field of view, including using a non-linear, wide-angled lens and imaging sensor; determining and extracting an off-center region of interest (hereinafter “ROI”) within said image; applying geometric correction to reconstruct said off-center ROI into an approximately rectangular frame of reference as a reconstructed ROI; determining a quality of reconstructed pixels within said reconstructed ROI; and selectively applying image analysis to said reconstructed ROI based on the quality of the reconstructed pixels.
