Representations of skyrmion and bimeron

Caption

Skyrmion can be represented as a set of 3D vectors confined in 2D plane unwrapped from a unit spiny sphere. Bimeron, a topological transition state of skyrmion, can also be described by the unit sphere mapping, but by changing a wrapping style for the fixed spiny sphere but the coordinates of longitude and latitude are switched, or tuning the longitude and latitude coordinates with a fixed spiny sphere.
