STMap

The STMap node allows you to move pixels around in an image. STMap uses two channels to figure out where each pixel in the resulting image should come from in the input channels. You can use the Copy node to merge the two distortion channels in with your image channels and then select the two channels in the U and V selection boxes. The U and V values are the absolute position of the source pixel. The values are normalized to be between 0 and 1, where 0 is the bottom left corner of the input image, and 1 is the top right corner.

You can also calculate the lens distortion on one image and apply that distortion to another image using the STMap node.
