Abstract :
This paper proposes a full-view spherical image format which is based on the geodesic division of a sphere. In comparison with the conventional 3D array representation which consists of five parallelograms, the proposed spherical image format is a simple 2D array representation. The algorithms of finding the neighboring pixels given a pixel of a spherical image and mapping between spherical coordinate and spherical image pixel are given also.
