Abstract
Embodiments relate to converting imagery to a polar projection. Initially, a map request that specifies the polar projection for a geographic area is obtained. The geographic area into a number of image regions. A first source image is obtained for a first image region, where the first source image is at a first target resolution, and a second source image is obtained for a second image region, where the second source image is at a second target resolution that is determined based on a geographic location of the second image region. The first source image and the second source image are projected into the polar projection to obtain a single output image. At this stage, a polar coordinate system that corresponds to the polar projection is used to render the single output image in a spatial map.
