SAP: Segment Any 4K Panorama
arXiv cs.CV / 3/16/2026
📰 NewsModels & Research
Key Points
- SAP is a new foundation model designed for 4K panoramic instance segmentation, addressing performance gaps on 360° panoramas.
- It reformulates panoramic segmentation as fixed-trajectory perspective video segmentation, decomposing panoramas into overlapping perspective patches along a spherical traversal to preserve native 4K resolution and smooth viewpoint transitions.
- The approach uses large-scale supervision by synthesizing 183,440 4K panoramic images with instance segmentation labels via the InfiniGen engine.
- SAP generalizes to real-world 360° images and achieves a +17.2 zero-shot mIoU gain over vanilla SAM2 of different sizes on a 4K panorama benchmark.
