I have an image of a floor and I want to generate an equirectangular image from it. My expectation is that only the bottom half of the equirectangular image will contain content since I am only using the floor image, and thus, only the area below the horizon will be projected.

I have attached the input image and the desired output image that I created using Blender.

Is it possible to achieve this using Python? If so, could you provide guidance or a sample code snippet to help me get started?

Thank you!

I used Blender to create the desired equirectangular image from a floor image. The process involved mapping the floor image onto a plane and using a panoramic camera to render the equirectangular projection. The result was an image where only the bottom half contained content, which matches the input image’s projection below the horizon.

I am now looking to replicate this process using Python. My expectation is to generate a similar equirectangular image directly from the floor image using a Python script. I am seeking guidance or a sample code snippet that can help me achieve this.
