SphereDepth: Panorama Depth Estimation from Spherical Domain. (arXiv:2208.13714v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

The panorama image can simultaneously demonstrate complete information of the
surrounding environment and has many advantages in virtual tourism, games,
robotics, etc. However, the progress of panorama depth estimation cannot
completely solve the problems of distortion and discontinuity caused by the
commonly used projection methods. This paper proposes SphereDepth, a novel
panorama depth estimation method that predicts the depth directly on the
spherical mesh without projection preprocessing. The core idea is to establish
the relationship between the panorama image and …
