Learning Projection-Aware 360-Degree Image Rectification via Dual-Projection Fusion

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a dual‑projection framework for rectifying 360° panoramic images, combining a convolutional neural network that processes equirectangular projections with a vision transformer that handles cubemap projections. Cross‑projection feature transformation and multi‑level fusion allow the two representations to interact, supporting collaborative inclination estimation and upright panorama generation. Experiments on SUN360 and M3D demonstrate significant accuracy gains, achieving 65.9% and 85.2% within a 1° error threshold and low Fréchet Inception Distance scores.

TDFNet: Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network for Panoramic Salient Object Detection

TDFNet introduces a Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network that uses equirectangular, cube map, and tangent projections to mitigate geometric distortions in panoramic salient object detection. It incorporates a cross-projection deformable attention module for geometry-aware sampling and a latitude-guided fusion module that balances ERP and CMP features using spherical latitude priors. The network’s three-branch encoding preserves global continuity, local detail, and boundary precision, improving detection performance over existing projection-based methods.
