The goal of the SUN360 panorama database is to provide academic researchers in computer vision, computer graphics and computational photography, cognition and neuroscience, human perception, machine learning and data mining, with a comprehensive collection of annotated panoramas covering 360x180-degree full view for a large variety of environmental scenes, places and the objects within. To build the core of the dataset, the authors download a huge number of high-resolution panorama images from the Internet, and group them into different place categories. Then, they designed a WebGL annotation tool for annotating the polygons and cuboids for objects in the scene.
