Squares that Look Round: Transforming Spherical Images

arXiv:1605.01396

Abstract

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.
