Football360: Introducing a New Dataset for Camera Calibration in Sports Domain

Abstract

In many computer vision domains, the input images must conform with the pinhole camera model, where straight lines in the real world are projected as straight lines in the image. Many existing camera calibration or distortion compensation methods have been developed using either ImageNet or other generic computer vision datasets, but they are difficult to compare and evaluate when applied to a specific sports domain. We present a new dataset, explicitly designed for the task of radial distortion correction, consisting of high-resolution panoramas of football arenas. From these panoramas, we produce a large number of cropped images distorted using known radial distortion parameters. We also present extensible open-source software to reproducibly export sets of training images conforming to the chosen radial distortion model. We evaluate a chosen radial distortion correction method on the proposed dataset. All data and software can be found at https://vgg.fiit.stuba.sk/football360.
