Telescope: Learnable Hyperbolic Foveation for Ultra-Long-Range Object Detection

ArXi:2604.06332v1 Announce Type: cross Autonomous highway driving, especially for long-haul heavy trucks, requires detecting objects at long ranges beyond 500 meters to satisfy braking distance requirements at high speeds. At long distances, vehicles and other critical objects occupy only a few pixels in high-resolution images, causing state-of-the-art object detectors to fail.
