    Semantic Segmentation of Outdoor Panoramic Images
    (Springer, 2021) Orhan, Semih; Baştanlar, Yalın
    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. Source code of the project and the dataset were made available at the project page (https://github.com/semihorhan/semseg-outdoor-pano). © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.

    Multi-View Structure-From for Hybrid Camera Scenarios
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Baştanlar, Yalın; Temizel, Alptekin; Yardımcı, Y.; Sturm, P.
    We describe a pipeline for structure-from-motion (SfM) with mixed camera types, namely omnidirectional and perspective cameras. For the steps of this pipeline, we propose new approaches or adapt the existing perspective camera methods to make the pipeline effective and automatic. We model our cameras of different types with the sphere camera model. To match feature points, we describe a preprocessing algorithm which significantly increases scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) matching performance for hybrid image pairs. With this approach, automatic point matching between omnidirectional and perspective images is achieved. We robustly estimate the hybrid fundamental matrix with the obtained point correspondences. We introduce the normalization matrices for lifted coordinates so that normalization and denormalization can be performed linearly for omnidirectional images. We evaluate the alternatives of estimating camera poses in hybrid pairs. A weighting strategy is proposed for iterative linear triangulation which improves the structure estimation accuracy. Following the addition of multiple perspective and omnidirectional images to the structure, we perform sparse bundle adjustment on the estimated structure by adapting it to use the sphere camera model. Demonstrations of the end-to-end multi-view SfM pipeline with the real images of mixed camera types are presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
