Taking out distortion on fisheye images

Are there any plug-in filters to undistort round 180 degree fisheye images and the like, or more complex distorted shots like those taken in a chrome bumper or convex auto mirror? Or even simple barrel distortion of an ultrawide lens?

I would like to reparallel the parallel lines both vertically and horizontally with full control. I think the term might be mapping?

I have experimented with varying degrees on the fisheye and pinch filters, though interesting, they are not what I'm looking for.

Thanks, Artguy

None for them. Not very many for subsequent versions. Nikon Capture uses a deconvolution scheme to make a rectilinear image from one taken with the 10.5mm fisheye.

Panotools (along with several other plugins and/or programs) can do that.

Thank you. I've bookmarked the sites and will look into them. Kekus looks promising.
