From Perspective to Fisheye Depth Estimation and Open-Vocabulary Segmentation

The paper introduces Distortion Extenders (DEX), learnable parameters that adapt vision foundation models to fisheye cameras by modeling distortion coefficients and correcting distributional shifts between fisheye and perspective images. DEX is applied to monocular depth estimation and open‑vocabulary segmentation across convolutional and Transformer architectures, consistently outperforming baselines on indoor and outdoor fisheye datasets. Additionally, DEX activations can be decoded to obtain distortion coefficients, aiding camera calibration.
