Publisher: | Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH | Abstract: | Omnidirectional cameras are capable of providing 360 ∘ field-of-view in a single shot. This comprehensive view makes them preferable for many computer vision applications. An omnidirectional view is generally represented as a panoramic image with equirectangular projection, which suffers from distortions. Thus, standard camera approaches should be mathematically modified to be used effectively with panoramic images. In this work, we built a semantic segmentation CNN model that handles distortions in panoramic images using equirectangular convolutions. The proposed model, we call it UNet-equiconv, outperforms an equivalent CNN model with standard convolutions. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first work on the semantic segmentation of real outdoor panoramic images. Experiment results reveal that using a distortion-aware CNN with equirectangular convolution increases the semantic segmentation performance (4% increase in mIoU). We also released a pixel-level annotated outdoor panoramic image dataset which can be used for various computer vision applications such as autonomous driving and visual localization.
