Quick start:

Run demo_full.m to see an “almost” complete list of functions in this toolbox. Some (not all) featured functions are:

• Combine perspective images to a panorama.
• Project a region on panorama to a perspective image.
• Line segment detection.
• Color segmentation.
• Find vanishing point.
• Reconstruct 3D cuboid.

For a full list of functions, please see instruction.pdf.

Matterport3D support:

Run demo_matterport.m to see how to stitch panorama for Matterport3D dataset. Note that:

• If you wish to have seamless good looking color panorama, you should stitch skybox images.
• If you wish to have aligned color and depth panorama, you should stitch undistorted_color/depth_images.

If you stitch from undistorted_color/depth_images:

• The color panorama from undistorted_color_images may contain visible artifacts near stitching boundaries because of different exposure between images.
• The demo only takes the 6 horizontal views as example, and assumes 60 degrees between each pair of adjacent views. This may not be true in practice, and a perfectly accurate panorama stitching requires accurate calculation of (vx,vy) from camera extrinsic matrices.
• Given more accurate (vx/vy) calculated for upward/downward looking views, you may stitch 18 views together for a more complete panorama.

FAQ:

Q: Windows users will get an error when calling function “lsdWrap.m”.
A: The Windows command line does not support ‘/’. Please change all ‘/’ in commands line to ‘\’ before sending them to “system” function in Matlab.
