Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to processing an image having a distortion and an object. The method according to some embodiments includes acquiring an image having a distortion and performing a first object detection analysis on a first portion of the image. Next, the method includes performing an undistortion process on the image, and after, performing a second object detection analysis on a second portion of the image. The second portion of the image is different than the first portion of the image. The method can then combine a first result of the first object detection analysis with a second result of the second object detection analysis.
