Fix distortion figure in calib3d. Positive radial distortion corresponds to pincushion distortion and negative to barrel distortion. Add another figure that illustrates the influence of k1 in the distortion effect.

tangential distortion coefficients. \f$s_1\f$, \f$s_2\f$, \f$s_3\f$, and \f$s_4\f$, are the thin prism distortion
coefficients. Higher-order coefficients are not considered in OpenCV.
The next figure shows two common types of radial distortion: barrel distortion (typically \f$ k_1 < 0 \f$) and pincushion distortion (typically \f$ k_1 > 0 \f$).

In some cases the image sensor may be tilted in order to focus an oblique plane in front of the
camera (Scheimpfug condition). This can be useful for particle image velocimetry (PIV) or
