Take a look at Flex Projector and G.Projector
One of them may have the projections you require.

Does it exist?
I also need Lambert Azimutal Equal Area projections.

I didn't notice Flex Projctor also supports raster images, I'll try it again.
I also already tried G.Projector, but it lacks Transverse Mercator projections.
I found a dozen of programs: DGALWARP, fGIS, GRASS, PROJ.4, GMT & WinGMT, fTools... but I always miss HOW to use them! They're really complex programs! I just need to know how to get a projection from an image, I can't study tons of pages about cartography! :-(
DGALWARP appears to be quite good to be explained in a forum: does anybody have an idea of the needed command line to put one of these images into Transverse Mercator and Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area?
Based on your other post, I think what you want is to go from an image like this (equirectangular):
remappingtest.png
to this:
remappingtest_sin.png
I did this using Gimp, with the mathmap plugin, using the following mathmap script I wrote:
Change the divs=9 to however many "petals" you want.Code:unit filter sinusoidal (unit stretched image in) divs = 9; py = 2; counter = 0; while (counter <= divs) do px = if (x>1-(2*counter/divs)-1/divs && x<=1-(2*counter/divs)+1/divs) then (x-(1-(2*counter/divs)))/cos(y*pi)+1-(2*counter/divs) end; py = if (x>1-(2*counter/divs)-1/divs && x<=1-(2*counter/divs)+1/divs && px<=1-(2*counter/divs)+1/divs && px>=1-(2*counter/divs)-1/divs) then y else py end; counter = counter + 1; end; in(xy:[px,py]) end
edit: Another thing tha might make this easier to assemble is what i did in the next one. I offset bottom half of the image by 1/2 the petal width (in this case 60 px), ran the filter, then offset the bottom half back (-60px), with wrap on, of course.:

that's a very cool news: I'm a developer, so maybe I could easily implement other projections I need... if just knew the formulas/algorithms I need!
I already tried "gores" projections, but it's only good up to 70-75° latitude: it's really hard to properly stitch gores at poles, that's why I also need the Lambert azimutal projection centered on poles.
Do you know the formula for it too?
See the other thread for a description of how to use Wilbur to do the projection you're asking about. It should be possible to do this with an FT projection definition.
Almost every protection formula is at wikipedia:

I just discovered that GIMP plugins can also be written in Python:
http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/pygimp/
Are you able to port your short source to python? I already know it, so I won't have to learn a new language.
If you know python YOU should be able to convert it . The math for that mapping is trivial (I got it from wikipedia)
If you are willing to use Gimp then the mathmap script will work fine, as mathmap is available for every OS.
It is much faster than scripting in scheme and much simpler than scripting in python (when performing manipulation of image data.)
If you want a stand-alone python script, I'll leave that to you...

If somebody is still looking for solution, I coded sinusoidal gores projection in javascript, and it is available here http://www.winski.net/?page_id=12 under BSD license (you can do whatever you want with the program and its source). It works in a web browser so you don't have to download anything.
