Its a fish eye lens LoRa. Panoramic would be if it produces long strips.

I chose the word panorama as it is commonly used by multiple apps and tools related to spherical panorama rendering. I suppose I could also have called it spherical-panorama-lora (if that is a critical issue, I can rename it)

Under the hood, what the model does is to generate equirectangular images, ie. long strips spanning horizontally (this technical term could be put in the name of the model as well, to precisely reflect the type of data it was trained on - a dataset of equirectangular panoramas - but it felt a bit verbose)

Now you are totally right, a fisheye can be used to take those images! I just think it would be strange to call the model like that when other techniques exist that can also produce equirectangular images without ever using an actual fisheye lens, if you see what I mean (like filming or taking multiple pictures to blend them together into a spherical image using software eg. on an iPhone app).
