1 Introduction
Given a satellite image, such as Fig. 1a, what would one see when standing at the location of the image center? In this example, one would reason that there is a fork in the road, a tree inside the fork, and grass elsewhere. This satellite to street-view image synthesis task aims to generate an omni-directional street-view panorama captured at a location corresponding to the center of the given satellite image. Our goal in this work is to synthesize a street-view panorama with scene structures that are as geometrically consistent with the satellite image as possible, while preserving visual similarity with the ground-truth panorama.
