CCD-based X-ray detector systems often suffer from spatial distortions. Reproducible distortions can be quantitatively measured with a calibration grid and described as a displacement matrix or as spline functions. The measured distortion can be used afterwards to undistort raw images or to refine the actual position of each pixel, e.g. for azimuthal integration. This article describes a method using a regular grid, not necessarily orthogonal, to measure the distortions. The graphical user interface (GUI) Python software that is used to implement this method is available under a GPLv3 license on ESRF GitLab, and produces a spline file that is usable with data-reduction software such as FIT2D or pyFAI .
