• Abstract summary: We introduce SimFIR, a framework for fisheye image rectification based on self-supervised representation learning. To learn fine-grained distortion representations, we first split a fisheye image into multiple patches and extract their representations with a Vision Transformer. The transfer performance on the downstream rectification task is remarkably boosted, which verifies the effectiveness of the learned representations.

• Abstract: In fisheye images, rich distinct distortion patterns are regularly distributed in the image plane. These distortion patterns are independent of the visual content and provide informative cues for rectification. To make the best of such rectification cues, we introduce SimFIR, a simple framework for fisheye image rectification based on self-supervised representation learning. Technically, we first split a fisheye image into multiple patches and extract their representations with a Vision Transformer (ViT). To learn fine-grained distortion representations, we then associate different image patches with their specific distortion patterns based on the fisheye model, and further subtly design an innovative unified distortion-aware pretext task for their learning. The transfer performance on the downstream rectification task is remarkably boosted, which verifies the effectiveness of the learned representations. Extensive experiments are conducted, and the quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate the superiority of our method over the state-of-the-art algorithms as well as its strong generalization ability on real-world fisheye images.

  We propose a distortion vector map (DVM) that measures the degree and direction of local distortion. By learning the DVM, the model can independently identify local distortions at each pixel without relying on global distortion patterns. In the pre-training stage, it predicts the distortion vector map and perceives the local distortion features of each pixel. In the fine-tuning stage, it predicts a pixel-wise flow map for deviated fisheye image rectification.

  We devise a stronger stitching algorithm for fisheye images by combining the traditional image processing method with deep learning. In the stage of fisheye image correction, we propose the Attention-based Activation Free Network (ANAFNet) to deblur fisheye images corrected by calibration method. In the part of image registration, we propose the ORB-FREAK-GMS (OFG), a comprehensive image matching algorithm, to improve the accuracy of image registration.

  We develop a weakly-supervised learning mechanism to train the stitching model without requiring genuine ground truth images.

  We propose a novel self-supervised image rectification (SIR) method based on an important insight that the rectified results of distorted images of the same scene from different lens should be the same. We leverage a differentiable warping module to generate the rectified images and re-distorted images from the distortion parameters. Our method achieves comparable or even better performance than the supervised baseline method and representative state-of-the-art methods.
