OpenViCA: Video Continuation for Automotive Driving Scenes by Streamlining and Fine-Tuning Open Source Models with Public Data

This repo contains the official implementation of OpenViCA, an open video continuation system for automotive driving scenes.

🚗 Introduction

OpenViCA encodes input driving-scene frames into discrete latent tokens, predicts future tokens with a world model, and decodes the predicted token sequences into continued video frames.

The pipeline consists of three stages:

1. Image tokenizer (TOK): encodes frames into discrete latent tokens
2. World model (WM): predicts subsequent latent image tokens
3. Video decoder (VDEC): generates output video frames from predicted future tokens
