# PanFlow Dataset

The PanFlow dataset supports the research presented in the paper **[PanFlow: Decoupled Motion Control for Panoramic Video Generation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.00832)**.

PanFlow is a novel framework for controllable 360° panoramic video generation that decouples motion input into two interpretable components: rotation flow and derotated flow. This dataset is a large-scale, motion-rich panoramic video dataset with frame-level pose and optical flow annotations, curated to enable precise motion control, produce loop-consistent panoramas, and support applications such as motion transfer and panoramic video editing.

By conditioning diffusion on spherical-warped motion noise, PanFlow enables precise motion control, produces loop-consistent panoramas, and supports applications such as motion transfer:

## Dataset Structure and Details

The PanFlow dataset provides camera pose annotations for 300k clips. It also includes pre-generated latent and noise cache for a filtered subset to speed up training.

The underlying video data is derived from the [360-1M dataset](https://github.com/MattWallingford/360-1M), which consists of YouTube videos licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
