A distortion corrected panoramic vision system and method provides a visually correct composite image acquired through wide angle optics and projected onto a viewing surface. The system uses image acquisition devices to capture a scene up to 360° or 4π steradians broad. An image processor corrects for luminance or chrominance non-uniformity and applies a spatial transform to each image frame. The spatial transform is convolved by concatenating the viewing transform, acquisition geometry and optical distortion transform, and display geometry and optical transform. The distortion corrections are applied separately for red, green, and blue components to eliminate lateral color aberrations of the optics. A display system is then used to display the resulting composite image on a display device which is then projected through the projection optics and onto a viewing surface. The resulting image is visibly distortion free and matches the characteristics of the viewing surface.

A device for repositioning an implantable device within a natural bodily lumen includes an inner tube defining an internal lumen and adapted for insertion into a natural bodily lumen. An elongated member is slidably or rotatably disposed within the lumen of the inner tube, with a grasper disposed at the distal end of the elongated member adapted to grasp a portion of the implantable device. The implantable device, once grasped, can be at least partially collapsed. For example, a hook-shaped grasper grasps a drawstring of the implantable device, manipulating the drawstring and causing the implant to radially collapse. A retrieval hood is advanced over the collapsed portion of the implantable device. While maintaining its grasp, the repositioning device and the implantable device can then be repositioned or removed as one unit from the body by pulling the repositioning device from its proximal end.
