A new paper investigates how well CLIP models understand 360-degree panoramic images and their associated text. Researchers found that while CLIP can grasp textual cues related to panoramic content, it struggles with visual semantics that should remain consistent across horizontal shifts. To address this, a LoRA-based fine-tuning method was proposed to improve invariance to these shifts, though it introduced a slight trade-off in original performance. AI
