ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for generating perspective views of a scene. With a viewing position at the center of a cylindrical environment map, different views can be obtained by rotating the viewing direction either horizontally or vertically. The horizontal construction method of the present invention generally involves the steps of: determining the portion of the cylindrical map to be viewed; vertically interpolating pixel values in the portion of the cylindrical map to be viewed and mapping to a viewing plane; and displaying the viewing plane. The vertical construction method of the present invention generally involves the steps of: determining the portion of the cylindrical map to be viewed; vertically interpolating pixel values in the portion of the cylindrical map to be viewed and mapping to a vertical plane; horizontally interpolating pixel values in the vertical plane and mapping to the viewing plane; and displaying the viewing plane. -27-
