ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a two-dimensional map of a three-dimensional object has the steps of mapping the three-dimensional object to an ellipsoid and then mapping the ellipsoid to a two-dimensional surface. Mapping of the three-dimensional object to the ellipsoid is accomplished by forming a plurality of generally parallel, generally planar slices of the three-dimensional objects which correspond to similar slices of the ellipsoid and projecting each point on the surface of a slice of the three-dimensional object to a corresponding point of the ellipsoid. Mapping the ellipsoid to two-dimensional surface may be done according to various different contemporary methodologies.
