The paper introduces a dual‑projection framework for rectifying 360° panoramic images, combining a convolutional neural network that processes equirectangular projections with a vision transformer that handles cubemap projections. Cross‑projection feature transformation and multi‑level fusion allow the two representations to interact, supporting collaborative inclination estimation and upright panorama generation. Experiments on SUN360 and M3D demonstrate significant accuracy gains, achieving 65.9% and 85.2% within a 1° error threshold and low Fréchet Inception Distance scores.

GeoPano is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs geometrically accurate 3D point clouds from a single panoramic image. It introduces a panoramic‑aware attention aggregator with a novel Pano‑Attention mechanism to exploit spherical geometry and reduce cross‑view inconsistencies. A hybrid supervision strategy enforces both fine‑grained local detail in perspective views and global structural coherence in spherical space, leading to superior reconstruction accuracy, consistency, and visual fidelity compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods.

OmniAct3D is a framework that adapts Vision Foundation Model (VFM) detectors trained on perspective images to equirectangular projection (ERP) panoramic images for 3D detection. It introduces the ERP-Ray Geometry Adapter (ERGA-Ray) to model spherical rays, the Visual-Action Reasoning Chain (VARC) to ground hypotheses in panoramic evidence, and the Appearance-Guided Heading Expert (AGHE) to recover high‑resolution heading cues. The method achieves a 2.96 NDS improvement on Spheriverse and a 24.87 mAP gain on PanoMMOcc, while preserving most of the baseline’s performance across configurations.

The paper introduces S2A, a semantic-to-spatial alignment framework designed for alignment‑free RGB‑T salient object detection. It employs a global‑guided hierarchical fusion module to refine intra‑modal features, an alignment‑free cross‑modal channel attention module to exchange semantic information, and a spatial deformable cross‑attention module to recover local spatial correspondence. These components collectively reduce misalignment‑induced feature contamination and achieve competitive performance on public benchmarks without additional bells and whistles.
