Abstract
A method and system for modifying a panoramic image of a scene, so as to alter its surface geometry, including providing an initial panoramic image of a scene projected onto an initial surface, generating, in response to user input, a desired surface upon which the scene is to be projected, and modifying the initial panoramic image by mapping points on the desired surface to corresponding points on the initial surface to produce a modified panoramic image corresponding to projection of the scene onto the desired surface.
