Also it seems that the "real" camera gives a little spherical projection. It
is something between normal and spherical POV camera. Probably it will be
rather hard to reconstruct this kind of view. But if you want to go any
further I suggest to start from matching both cameras exactly one to
another. Either you can try to add a converter which makes image aspherical
or you may try to experiment with transformation matrix for POV camera. It
looks like the camera produces projection on a spherical surface but the
focus is not in the center of the sphere but closer to the surface.
I'm not sure if I make myself clear, but look at your picture taken from the
camera and you will see that all edges are not straight. It is obvious that
they can't match the image rendered with a normal camera type from POVRay.
