Systems and methods for capturing and/or processing of panoramic imaging content using spatial redundancy-based mapping. Panoramic imaging content may be processed using a processing pipeline that may operate on a portion of the image. Images may be transformed prior to processing. Image transformation may introduce distortion and/or data redundancy. Image partitioning for the pipeline processing may be configured based on spatial redundancy associated with the transformation. Windowing operation may include partitioning an image using non-rectangular and/or non-equal windows.
