Claim:
An electronic system for dynamic m-dimensional digital data transformation, subject to varying N-dimensional distortion and control parameters, said system comprising: a. an input interface to obtain m-dimensional transformation data and N-dimensional distortion and control parameter sets, b. a concatenation stage coupled to said input interface, to concatenate m-dimensional transformation data and N-dimensional distortion and control parameter sets and to produce m+N dimensional hybrid grid data in a corresponding hybrid vector space, c. a divider coupled to said concatenation stage, to divide said hybrid vector space into a plurality of hybrid blocks, consisting of N-dimensional distortion control zones and m-dimensional geometry patches, based on a desired accuracy level, d. a surface function estimator, coupled to said divider, to parameterize said hybrid grid data, to generate a hypersurface map in each hybrid block, to estimate said hybrid grid data, wherein said hypersurfaces are represented by a plurality of compacted coefficients, e. a surface map interface, coupled to said surface function estimator, to store said compacted coefficients, f. a controller, to obtain instantaneous user and control parameters and to generate a vector in the hybrid vector space based on said user and control parameters, g. a decoder, coupled to said surface map interface and said controller, to dynamically compute instantaneous warp maps from said compacted coefficients corresponding to said vector in the hybrid vector space, and, h. an output interface to store and relay said instantaneous maps.
