Plot part of sphere by binary map.

Hey i had binary map of aphere's net The map (180x360 matrix for az,el) cover 24% of the sphere and Represents Camera field of view. I want plot the sphere, only where the binary map are true. And where ita false to make no sphere (or sphere with transparency 100%, II add pic of the camera field of view (before make it binary map)

What about plot3?

[x,y,z] = sphere(20);
[az,el] = meshgrid(200:5:250,0:5:20);
[x1,y1,z1] = sph2cart(az*pi/180,el*pi/180,1);
plot3(x1,y1,z1,'.r')
surface(x,y,z,'facecolor','none','edgecolor',[1 1 1]/2)
axis equal

Hey darova, thanks for help.

Maybe i wasn't clear, or i don't understand how can i use your code, i will try to explain more: I had this image (360,180) of some binary maps i combine:

When i plot it on sphere i get this:

I want the black part at the top of the aphere will be clear (100% transparency) so i can see the inside of the sphere...

The code i use:

if true
  clc; clear all ;
I=load('camerasFOV.jpg') ; 
[m,n] = size(I) ;
[X,Y,Z] = sphere(m-1,n-1);
surf(X,Y,Z,flipud(I),'FaceColor','texturemap','EdgeColor','none');
colormap(gray);

end

If u can help me with that i will be thankful.

DId you try to replace black pixels with NaN?

Hey Yes, i tried... It still plot the nan as black
