SUN360 (Scene UNderstanding 360° panorama)

The goal of the SUN360 panorama database is to provide academic researchers in computer vision, computer graphics and computational photography, cognition and neuroscience, human perception, machine learning and data mining, with a comprehensive collection of annotated panoramas covering 360x180-degree full view for a large variety of environmental scenes, places and the objects within. To build the core of the dataset, the authors download a huge number of high-resolution panorama images from the Internet, and group them into different place categories. Then, they designed a WebGL annotation tool for annotating the polygons and cuboids for objects in the scene.

SUN360全景数据库（SUN360 panorama database）的构建目标，是为计算机视觉、计算机图形学、计算摄影学、认知与神经科学、人类感知、机器学习与数据挖掘等领域的学术研究者，提供涵盖各类环境场景、场所及其内部物体的带标注360×180度全视场全景图像的综合性集合。为搭建该数据集的核心部分，研究团队从互联网获取了大量高分辨率全景图像，并将其归类至不同的场所类别中。随后，团队开发了一款WebGL标注工具，用于对场景内的物体进行多边形与长方体标注。
