Abstract
A machine is configured to generate a representation of a rectangular image, which may depict a projection of a spherical image. The machine generates a first triangular array of pixels based on an upper rectangular region of the rectangular image. The machine generates a second triangular array of pixels based on a lower rectangular region of the rectangular image, and the machine generates a rectangular array of pixels based on a middle rectangular region of the rectangular image. The machine then generates an output image that includes the first triangular array of pixels, the second triangular array of pixels, and the rectangular array of pixels. After the output image is generated, the machine may provide the generated output image for use as a representation of rearranged image data of the spherical image.
