1. A method for representing an omnidirectional-like image, comprising:
- capturing an omnidirectional-like image;
mapping points of said captured omnidirectional-like image to a surface of a sphere; and
mapping points on said surface of said sphere to a surface of a solid inscribed within said sphere.

Abstract
A method for representing an omnidirectional-like image by capturing an omnidirectional-like image and determining a representation format that is commonly applicable to any image acquisition system that is able to capture the omnidirectional-like image. The captured omnidirectional-like image is mapped onto the determined representation format.
