Researchers have developed Gimbal360, a novel framework designed to adapt existing 2D image completion techniques to spherical panoramas. The system addresses the geometric and topological challenges of spherical data, such as viewpoint-dependent distortions and the inherent periodicity of equirectangular projections. Gimbal360 standardizes these structures through a Canonical Viewing Space and Differentiable Projective Canonicalization, enabling diffusion models to operate effectively in a spherical domain. The accompanying Horizon360 dataset, curated for gravity-aligned panoramic environments, supports the framework's state-of-the-art performance in visual fidelity and seam continuity for 360° scene completion.
