Three60Cube

A Package to project a 360 x 180 image onto a cube.

Installation

pip install three60cube

Usage

Creation of projection template:

from three30cube import Three60Cube

# create instance
transf = Three60Cube()

# open image
transf.open_image("/Users/casperkaandorp/Desktop/streetview/Abstede_1.JPG")

# calculate a projection for one side
transf.get_pane(pane=1, dim=512)

# save transformation template
transf.save_cache("/Users/casperkaandorp/Desktop/streetview/templ.pickle")

With the saved transformation template you can perform new projections without calculating the transformation:

# create instance with transformation template
transf = Three60Cube("/Users/casperkaandorp/Desktop/streetview/templ.pickle")

# open image
transf.open_image("/Users/casperkaandorp/Desktop/streetview/Abstede_2.JPG")

# perform projection, write image to HDD
transf.save_pane("/Users/casperkaandorp/proj_2.JPG", pane=2, dim=512)

Panes 0 through 3 are taken from the left to right side of the 360 image. Pane 4 is the top of the cube and pane 5 is the bottom part. The dim parameter refers to dimension of the output image; a dim of 500 will produce a 500 x 500px image.

To do: testing and meaningful messages when filepaths are incorrect
