Autonomous driving requires the model to perceive the environment and (re)act within a low latency for safety. While past works ignore the inevitable changes in the environment after processing, streaming perception is proposed to jointly…
We present a novel hierarchical model for human activity recognition. In contrast to approaches that successively recognize actions and activities, our approach jointly models actions and activities in a unified framework, and their labels…
Modern visual agents require representations that are general, causal, and physically structured to operate in real-time streaming environments. However, current vision foundation models remain fragmented, specializing narrowly in image…
