Abstract: We introduce the first learning-based dense matching algorithm, termed Equirectangular Projection-Oriented Dense Kernelized Feature Matching (EDM), specifically designed for omnidirectional ...
Maps sit quietly in classrooms, on news websites and inside phone screens. They look settled and precise, but the world they show is always slightly bent out of shape. Because the Earth is round, any ...
Greenland appears much larger than it actually is on most world maps, thanks to the Mercator projection, a centuries-old map style. A recent study reveals how this distortion influences our perception ...

Metamorphopsia distorts central vision, making straight lines look wavy and flat objects look rounded. It happens when the retina or macula is damaged by disease, injury, or aging. Common causes ...
SynPano is a high-quality synthetic panoramic dataset specifically designed and rendered for Panoramic SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and 3D reconstruction tasks. Rendered entirely ...
A global experiment has shown that the kind of world map people see systematically alters how large countries feel, placing Greenland among the most exaggerated places on Earth. That distorted sense ...
