A practical algorithm for image spherical surfacing and its implementation on Symbian platform

The custom-features have been more and more incorporated in mobile phones nowadays, and displaying a personalized image on a mobile phone becomes a trend along with the advancement of entertaining functions being embedded. In this paper, an alternative spherical surfacing algorithm is proposed, and its mathematical modeling is built, the mapping function and interpolation are derived. The proposed spherical surfacing technique is implemented on Symbian platform with a given image on mobile phone, indicating the effectiveness of the algorithm developed. Brief discussions are made in the end of this paper.
