arXiv:2610.03015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D detection is essential for mobile embodied agents, while Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) offer transferable visual and geometric priors. Yet existing VFM-based 3D detectors rely on narrow-view monocular images or discrete perspective views, limiting coherent surround perception; equirectangular projection (ERP) instead encodes a continuous 360 scene in a single image. Direct transfer remains difficult because ERP organizes geometry and visual information differently, making object-relevant cues hard to model, localize, and preserve. We propose OmniAct3D, a framework that adapts perspective-trained VFM detectors to ERP while preserving transferable VFM priors. To resolve geometric mismatch, the ERP-Ray Geometry Adapter (ERGA-Ray) models spherical viewing rays and periodic spatial structure. To localize evidence in scene-wide context, the Visual-Action Reasoning Chain (VARC) grounds each hypothesis in relevant panoramic evidence and converts it into a structured geometric action. To recover local cues lost under fixed token budgets, the Appearance-Guided Heading Expert (AGHE) re-encodes object regions at higher resolution for heading estimation. Experiments show that OmniAct3D improves over the previous best 3D detector by 2.96 NDS points on Spheriverse and over the unadapted VFM baseline by 24.87 mAP points on PanoMMOcc. With target-specific geometry adaptation, VARC retains 95--98% of the same-configuration mAP, indicating reusable object-level 3D reasoning across sensing configurations.
