Abstract

Equirectangular (360 spherical) panorama is the most widely adopted format to store and broadcast virtual reality (VR) videos. Equirectangular projection provides a new challenge to adapt existing computer vision methods for the novel input type. In this work, we introduce a new dataset which consists of high quality equirectangular videos captured using a high-end VR camera (Nokia OZO).We also provide the original wide angle (8 195) videos and densely annotated bounding boxes for evaluating object detectors and trackers. In this work, we introduce the dataset, compare state-of-the-art trackers for object tracking in equirectangular panorama and report detailed analysis of the failure cases which reveal potential factors to improve the existing visual object trackers for the new type of input.
