FLEET: Token-Based Feature Extraction for Event Camera-based Reinforcement Learning

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Event cameras generate asynchronous, high-frequency data streams offering spatially sparse information at lower latency than traditional cameras. In principle, these properties should be ideal for the design of control policies.

FLEET: Token-Based Feature Extraction for Event Camera-based Reinforcement Learning

FLEET is a token‑based feature extractor that processes event camera data directly, using random Fourier features and cross‑attention to compress variable‑length event streams into fixed‑size latent representations. By decoupling inference cost from sensor resolution, it avoids the high compute and temporal blurring associated with CNN‑based grid aggregation. Experiments on a new high‑throughput benchmark show that FLEET outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and remains robust across different observation frequencies.

Low-Latency Event-Based Object Detection with Spatially-Sparse Linear Attention

The paper introduces Spatially‑Sparse Linear Attention (SSLA), a novel attention mechanism that activates only a sparse subset of spatial states, enabling efficient parallel training and inference for event‑based vision. Building on SSLA, the authors present SSLA‑Det, an end‑to‑end asynchronous linear attention model that achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on Gen1 and N‑Caltech101 while reducing per‑event computation by more than 20× compared to the strongest prior asynchronous baseline.

LookThere! Sparse Vision by Reinforced Selection

LookThere! Sparse Vision by Reinforced Selection proposes an end‑to‑end reinforcement learning framework that jointly trains a shallow input selector and a deep representation extractor for vision transformers. The selector learns where to focus and the extractor learns what to process, enabling the model to use only a tiny fraction of the input tokens—down to 0.2%—while preserving accuracy. The method outperforms existing selection techniques across diverse tasks and models, including high‑resolution recognition, segmentation, zero‑shot classification, and regression, establishing a new Pareto frontier in performance‑compute trade‑offs.

PointEvent: Rethinking Event-based Tiny Object Detection via Serialized Motion Evidence Accumulation

PointEvent introduces serialized motion evidence accumulation for event-based tiny object detection, treating motion continuity as an ordered evidence propagation process. The method organizes event streams into locality‑preserving spatiotemporal paths and chronology‑preserving temporal paths, alternating serialized scans across complementary orders to consolidate fragmented motion evidence. A lightweight event‑wise state‑space framework with a high‑resolution event branch and compact context modulation achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance with the fewest parameters and fastest inference among compared methods.
