Abstract
We show the convenience of using the same concepts used on the data fitting on a pupil, Zernike polynomials on a discrete data set, for the data fitting on a spherical shell. Such a need arises on a broad range of problems that includes not only illumination, but also remote sensing, biology and others. We briefly discuss some direct applications.
