OMNI-CONV: Generalization of the Omnidirectional Distortion-Aware Convolutions.

Omnidirectional images have drawn great research attention recently thanks to their great potential and performance in various computer vision tasks. However, processing such a type of image requires an adaptation to take into account spherical distortions. Therefore, it is not trivial to directly extend the conventional convolutional neural networks on omnidirectional images because CNNs were initially developed for perspective images.
