Albireo is an adaptive, energy‑efficient inference framework for video object detection on edge devices that wraps existing detectors without modification. It uses a 10‑dimensional Kalman filter per active object to decide when to skip detector calls, predicting bounding boxes on skipped frames at near‑zero GPU cost. Evaluated on BDD100K with YOLO and RF‑DETR detectors on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor and Orin, Albireo maintains AP@50 within ±1.2 pp of full‑frame inference while reducing energy consumption by 12.1–17.6 % and improving accuracy for some models.

The study investigates how long‑video language models decide which frames to keep, compress, and reuse, testing each decision in isolation across six selection rules, three benchmarks, and two answering models. It finds that selecting frames based on queries yields the biggest performance boost, that halving spatial resolution costs little, and that reallocating saved tokens to more compressed frames can further improve accuracy. The work also highlights the importance of a unified evaluation harness to avoid misleading comparisons.

arXiv:2607. 02886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying AI-generated video detectors in real-world services demands an ultra-low false positive rate (FPR) on real videos to avoid falsely rejecting authentic content, a regime where standard metrics such as AUROC fail to reflect actual operating behavior.
