Photometrically Distorted Synthetic COCO
Photometrically Distorted Synthetic COCO (PDS-COCO) dataset is a synthetically created dataset for homography estimation learning. The idea is exactly the same as in the Synthetic COCO (S-COCO) dataset with SSD-like image distortion added at the beginning of the whole procedure: the first step involves adjusting the brightness of the image using randomly picked value . Next, contrast, saturation and hue noise is applied with the following values: , and . Finally, the color channels of the image are randomly swapped with a probability of . Such a photometric distortion procedure is applied to the original image independently to create source and target candidates.
