Sphere mapping: Overview, Related Topics & Entities

In computer graphics, sphere mapping (or spherical environment mapping) is a parameterization of directional radiance obtained by projecting the reflection of a mirrored sphere onto a plane using an orthographic projection. The resulting 2D texture encodes incident light as a function of direction and is used for reflection mapping by converting a…
