A quick and easy to use library for reprojecting various image types

SphereSnap

A quick and easy to use library for reprojecting various image types. (inspired by http://paulbourke.net/panorama/sphere2persp/ ).
The module will use CuPy if detected for accelerating computation. The library can be use simply for reprojecting from one format to another but also for more sophisticated usecases of manipulating parts of the image or polygons.

Examples and usecases

Reprojecting equirectangular image into pinhole-camera images with customizable FoV and resolution

Create equirectangular image using cubemap faces

Create fisheye images from equirectangular or cubemap images

Create top view images from equirectangular/fisheye/planar images

Correct radially distorted images

How to use it

Module sphere_snap.reprojections contains easy to use functions for simple situations:

• equi2cubemap
• cubemap2equi
• cubemap2fisheye
• equi2fisheye
• fisheye2equi
• equi2tv

For more complex situtation SphereSnaper can be used which is more flexible

import sphere_snap.utils as snap_utils
import sphere_snap.sphere_coor_projections as sphere_proj
from sphere_snap.snap_config import SnapConfig, ImageProjectionType
from sphere_snap.sphere_snap import SphereSnap
import sphere_snap.reprojections as rpr

Snap to perspective from equirectangular

snap_config = SnapConfig( [0,0,0,1], (1400,1400),(120,120), equi_photo.shape[:2], source_img_type=ImageProjectionType.EQUI)
snap_test = SphereSnap(snap_config)
persp_img = snap_test.snap_to_perspective(equi_photo)

Reproject equirectangular into 6 planar images of 90 degrees FoV (Cubemap)

    # bottom
    snap_configs.append(SnapConfig( rot(0,-90), (face_size,face_size),(90,90), source_img_hw, source_img_type=source_img_type))
    return snap_configs

or

Reproject a planar image into equirectangular

Snap to perspective from fisheye 180

persp_img = snap_test.snap_to_perspective(reconstructed_fisheye)

Reproject fisheye 180 to equirectangular
