SenseTime Open-Sources SenseNova-Vision, a Unified Perception Model
A single model handles detection, segmentation, depth, keypoints, and 3D reconstruction as multimodal generation, replacing the usual collection of task-specific components.
SenseTime has fully open-sourced SenseNova-Vision, a model that reframes a range of perception tasks as unified multimodal generation. Those tasks include object detection, optical character recognition, segmentation, depth estimation, keyp…
