Distortion-aware
Methods that adapt planar processing to the distortions introduced by panoramic projection.
Panoramic
understanding.
A survey from distortion-aware engineering to sphere-native modeling — Qinfeng Zhu and Lei Fan.
Research map
A panoramic image is planar data sampled from a spherical world. The modeling history is a story of how seriously we take that fact.
This survey organises panoramic scene understanding from distortion-aware engineering to sphere-native modeling. The project page turns that progression into a concise visual map while the paper provides the complete taxonomy, literature analysis and discussion.
Geometry-aware
Representations that increasingly encode relationships induced by spherical geometry.
Sphere-native
Models built directly around the intrinsic structure and transformations of the sphere.
