Seek to Segment: Active Perception for Panoramic Referring Segmentation
Existing referring segmentation models passively process static images captured from fixed perspectives, limiting their applicability in Embodied AI, where agents must perform active perception in the continuous 360$^\circ$ environments. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel task: Active Panoramic Referring Segmentation (APRS). In this setting, an agent is required to adjust its viewing direction ($Δθ, Δφ$) to explore the 360$^\circ$ environment, seeking the object specified by a user instruction for segmentation. To tackle this challenging task, we propose PanoSeeker, a memory-augmented ag
