EmbPASS: Towards Cross-Embodiment Open Panoramic Segmentation

arXiv:2610.03248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Panoramic images provide a complete 360-degree field of view, enabling comprehensive scene understanding for embodied perception. However, heterogeneous embodied platforms exhibit substantial differences in observation viewpoints and spatial layouts, giving rise to cross-embodiment observation shifts that pose additional challenges to consistent and reliable panoramic perception, while systematic studies of this problem remain limited. To bridge this gap, we introduce a new task, termed Cross-Embodiment Open Panoramic Segmentation. Meanwhile, we establish EmbPASS, a multi-platform panoramic semantic segmentation benchmark spanning Vehicle, Drone, Wearable, and Quadruped platforms under a unified semantic taxonomy, providing a testbed for systematically studying cross-embodiment panoramic perception. We further propose EPONet, an open-vocabulary panoramic semantic segmentation network that integrates Relation-Aware Metric Adapter (RAMA) and Content-Adaptive Semantic Transfer (CAST) to enhance spatial modeling and semantic transfer under heterogeneous embodied observations. Extensive experiments show that EPONet achieves the best platform-balanced performance on EmbPASS with 35.82% mIoU, outperforming the strongest baseline by 1.10%, while remaining competitive on existing panoramic segmentation benchmarks. The source code and EmbPASS benchmark will be made publicly available at https://github.com/guopj1/EmbPASS.
