Panoramic Annular Semantic Segmentation for real-world surrounding perception A1 Yang, Kailun A1 Hu, Xinxin A1 Bergasa Pascual, Luis Miguel A1 Romera Carmena, Eduardo A1 Huang, Xiao A1 Sun, Dongming A1 Wang, Kaiwei K1 Electrónica K1 Electronics AB Pixel-wise semantic segmentation unifies distinctscene perception tasks in a coherent way, and has catalyzednotable progress in autonomous and assisted navigation, wherea whole surrounding perception is vital. However, current mainstream semantic segmenters are normally benchmarked againstdatasets with narrow Field of View (FoV), and most visionbased navigation systems use only a forward-view camera.In this paper, we propose a Panoramic Annular SemanticSegmentation (PASS) framework to perceive the entire surrounding based on a compact panoramic annular lens systemand an online panorama unfolding process. To facilitate thetraining of PASS models, we leverage conventional FoV imagingdatasets, bypassing the effort entailed to create dense panoramicannotations. To consistently exploit the rich contextual cues inthe unfolded panorama, we adapt our real-time ERF-PSPNet topredict semantically meaningful feature maps in different segments and fuse them to fulfill smooth and seamless panoramicscene parsing. Beyond the enlarged FoV, we extend focallength-related and style transfer-based data augmentations, torobustify the semantic segmenter against distortions and blursin panoramic imagery. A comprehensive variety of experimentsdemonstrates the qualified robustness of our proposal for realworld surrounding understanding.
