Inquiry regarding the yaw range of images in the MGL dataset

[wangerniuniu]

During my usage, I noticed that the yaw range of the images is defined as -360° to 360°, rather than the conventional 0° to 360° range. I am perplexed by this design decision and would like to understand the reasoning behind it.

Could you kindly explain why you chose to define the yaw angle within the range of -360° to 360°? Are there any specific technical or practical requirements that led to this setting? Furthermore, what implications does this variation have on data processing and analysis compared to the traditional 0° to 360° range?

The yaw predicted by OrienterNet should be in [0, 360°]: https://github.com/facebookresearch/OrienterNet/blob/71e89ebdfa489e8c3d28ec668d9dad7da2ca5988/maploc/models/voting.py#L244-L245 GT data may be stored with a different range, but it doesn't matter because it is shifted to the same one when computing the evaluation error: https://github.com/facebookresearch/OrienterNet/blob/71e89ebdfa489e8c3d28ec668d9dad7da2ca5988/maploc/models/metrics.py#L14-L17
