-# ViStream Model Checkpoint
-
-This repository hosts the model checkpoint for **ViStream: Improving Computation Efficiency of Visual Streaming Perception via Law-of-Charge-Conservation Inspired Spiking Neural Network** (CVPR 2025).
-
-## Model Description
-
-ViStream is a novel framework that leverages the Law of Charge Conservation (LoCC) property in ST-BIF neurons and a differential encoding (DiffEncode) scheme to optimize SNN inference for Visual Streaming Perception. The framework achieves significant computational reduction while maintaining accuracy equivalent to its ANN counterpart across diverse VSP tasks including object detection, tracking, and segmentation.

+# ViStream: Law-of-Charge-Conservation Inspired Spiking Neural Network for Visual Streaming Perception
+
+**ViStream** is a novel energy-efficient framework for Visual Streaming Perception (VSP) that leverages Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) with Law of Charge Conservation (LoCC) properties.
+
+## Model Details
+
+### Model Description
+
+- **Developed by:** Kang You, Ziling Wei, Jing Yan, Boning Zhang, Qinghai Guo, Yaoyu Zhang, Zhezhi He
+- **Model type:** Spiking Neural Network for Visual Streaming Perception
+- **Language(s):** PyTorch implementation
+- **License:** CC-BY-4.0
+- **Paper:** [CVPR 2025](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2025/papers/You_VISTREAM_Improving_Computation_Efficiency_of_Visual_Streaming_Perception_via_Law-of-Charge-Conservation_CVPR_2025_paper.pdf)
+- **Repository:** [GitHub](https://github.com/Intelligent-Computing-Research-Group/ViStream)
+
+### Model Architecture
+
+ViStream introduces two key innovations:
+1. **Law of Charge Conservation (LoCC)** property in ST-BIF neurons
+2. **Differential Encoding (DiffEncode)** scheme for temporal optimization
+
+The framework achieves significant computational reduction while maintaining accuracy equivalent to ANN counterparts.
+
+## Uses
+
+### Direct Use
+
+ViStream can be directly used for:
+- **Multiple Object Tracking (MOT)**
+- **Single Object Tracking (SOT)**
+- **Video Object Segmentation (VOS)**
+- **Multiple Object Tracking and Segmentation (MOTS)**
+- **Pose Tracking**
+
+### Downstream Use
+
+The model can be fine-tuned for various visual streaming perception tasks in:
+- Autonomous driving
+- UAV navigation
+- AR/VR applications
+- Real-time surveillance
+
+## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
+
+### Limitations
+- Requires specific hardware optimization for maximum energy benefits
+- Performance may vary with different frame rates
+- Limited to visual perception tasks
+
+### Recommendations
+- Test thoroughly on target hardware before deployment
+- Consider computational constraints of edge devices
+- Validate performance on domain-specific datasets
