Unified Gnomonic and Stereographic Projections

Gnomonic projection, or rectilinear projection, together with stereographic projection, are two most commonly used projection in rendering 360 degree videos, or other VR applications. Recently, I found the inverse converting function from screen coordinates to the two projections can be unified within a single function. It’s not really surprising since both projection uses spherical lens,…


Equirectangular Projection, Gnomonic Projection, and Cubemaps

Gnomonic Projection Background According to MathWorld, the gnomonic projection is a nonconformal map projection obtained by projecting points (or ) on the surface of sphere from a sphere’s center O to point P in a plane that is tangent to a point S (Coxeter 1969, p. 93). In a gnomonic projection, great circles are mapped…
