Temporal Residual Bottleneck for Robust Asynchronous Collaborative Perception

Collaborative perception extends the sensing range of autonomous vehicles, but its performance degrades when shared features arrive stale or incomplete.

Key points

  • Most latency-robust methods compensate delayed collaborator features through flow-guided alignment or direct feature transport.
  • In this work, we formulate asynchronous collaborative perception as temporal residual prediction.
  • Our Temporal Residual Bottleneck keeps a deterministic pose-warped collaborator feature as a conservative anchor and uses a $Δt$-conditioned xLSTM to extract residual temporal evidence from the available history.
  • A detector-facing residual bottleneck then applies only gated, regularized corrections before ego-side fusion, reducing the risk of overwriting reliable static structure when temporal correspondence is uncertain.
