Original abstract

We present Mover360, a controllable object manipulation framework for 360° images. Unlike perspective images, 360° images in equirectangular projection (ERP) exhibit horizontal wrap-around, latitude-dependent distortion, and global scene continuity, which makes object-level edits difficult for existing perspective editors to produce and for users to specify. To address this, Mover360 centers on object Translation (relocating a specified object within an existing panorama) while supporting reference-guided Insert and Remove as auxiliary tasks. Its interface unifies point-, bbox-, and mask-guided control by encoding each task into a fixed prompt and a compact, ERP-aligned instruction map. In the default point mode, a single click relocates an object, allowing the model to infer a plausible size, support, and illumination using panoramic context and an auxiliary depth condition. Structurally, Mover360 is a lightweight adaptation of a pretrained diffusion transformer. To generate paired supervision, we construct a UE5 data-generation pipeline with surface-aware object placement and randomized illumination, yielding large-scale paired data and a dual-domain benchmark of synthetic and real panoramas with ground truth for all three tasks. Across both test domains and two evaluation protocols, Mover360 outperforms strong baselines for perspective editing, insertion, and inpainting in reconstruction fidelity, semantic consistency, and distributional quality. Code and our benchmark dataset are available at https://zhonghaoyi.github.io/Mover360/.
