Squares that Look Round: Transforming Spherical Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose Möbius transformations as the natural rotation and scaling tools for editing spherical images. As an application we produce spherical Droste images. We obtain other self-similar visual effects using rational functions, elliptic functions, and Schwarz-Christoffel maps.

Maps: creating surfaces from polygons
Roughly speaking, amap is a surface obtained by gluing a set of polygons along their edges, as is done in Figure 1. Imagine, for instance, that you are given 100 squares of paper and that you start gluing pairs of square sides until you form a surface without boundary. You have just created one of the billions of possible maps with 100 squares. We could decide to choose one of these billions of...

متن کاملSpherical Harmonics and Distance Transform for Image Representation and Retrieval
In this paper, we have proposed a method for 2D image retrieval based on object shapes. The method relies on transforming the 2D images into 3D space based on distance transform. Spherical harmonics are obtained for the 3D data and used as descriptors for the underlying 2D images. The proposed method is compared against two existing methods which use spherical harmonics for shape based retrieva...
متن کاملL1 regularized super-resolution from unregistered omnidirectional images
In this paper, we address the problem of super-resolution from multiple low-resolution omnidirectional images with inexact registration. Such a problem is typically encountered in omnidirectional vision scenarios with reduced resolution sensors in imperfect settings. Several spherical images with arbitrary rotations in the SO(3) rotation group are used for the reconstruction of higher resolutio...
متن کاملSegmentation of Heterochromatin Foci Using a 3D Spherical Harmonics Intensity Model
We introduce a 3D model-based approach for automatic segmentation of 3D fluorescent heterochromatin foci from 3D microscopy images. The approach employs a new 3D parametric intensity model based on a spherical harmonics (SH) expansion and can represent foci of regular and highly irregular shapes. By solving a least-squares optimization problem, the model is directly fitted to the 3D image data,...
