The test data comprises sets of panoramic
images (i.e., each having 360 degs. horizontal field of
view), and the resulting 3D point distributions and models.
Each 3D point distribution is recovered by applying
omnidirectional multibaseline stereo on the multiple
panoramic images. This has the advantage of being able to
extract 3D information of a wide scene directly. In
addition, by virtue of the wide view, the intermediate
process of recovering camera motion (using the 8-point
algorithm in our case) is stable.
