ULSD-ISPRS

This repository contains the official PyTorch implementation of the paper: ULSD: Unified Line Segment Detection across Pinhole, Fisheye, and Spherical Cameras.

Introduction

ULSD is a unified line segment detection method for both distorted and undistorted images from pinhole, fisheye or spherical cameras. With a novel line segment representation based on the Bezier curve, our method can detect arbitrarily distorted line segments. Experimental results on the pinhole, fisheye, and spherical image datasets validate the superiority of the proposed ULSD to the SOTA methods both in accuracy and efficiency. Especially, the performance of ULSD trained on the three-mixed dataset further demonstrates its effectiveness and generality across the three common camera model.

Quickstart with the pretrained model

• There are 4 pretrained models (mixed.pkl, pinhole.pkl, fisheye.pkl, and spherical.pkl) in Google drive or Baiduyun . Please download them and put in the model/ folder.
• Put your test images in the dataset/ folder.

python test.py --dataset_name <DATASET_NAME> --order 4 --model_name <MODEL_NAME> --save_image

• The results are saved in the output/ folder.

Training & Testing

Data Preparation

• Download the json-format dataset from Google Drive.
• Unzip the dataset to the dataset/ folder.
• Convert the dataset from json-format to npz-format.

cd dataset/
python json2npz.py --dataset_name <DATASET_NAME> --order <ORDER>

• Generate the ground truth for evaluation.

cd dataset/
python json2npz_gt.py --dataset_name <DATASET_NAME>

Train

python train.py --dataset_name <DATASET_NAME> --order <ORDER> --model_name <MODEL_NAME> [--gpu <GPU_ID>]

Test
