arXiv:2607. 13569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transit video understanding can provide valuable fine-grained data that conventional passenger counters and fare systems cannot capture.
arXiv:2606. 15749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic scene understanding requires models to reason beyond object recognition, including lane topology, multi-view geometry, temporal evolution, and signal-phase semantics.
The paper explores the use of Closed‑Circuit Television (CCTV) footage to estimate urban rail platform crowding in real time. It compares three computer‑vision methods—object detection and counting, crowd‑level classification with a Vision Transformer, and semantic segmentation—to extract crowd-related features. A novel convex ridge regression technique is introduced to convert segmentation outputs into passenger counts, and the methods are evaluated on a privacy‑preserving dataset of over 600 hours of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) video, showing that CCTV alone can provide valuable real‑time crowd estimates.
The paper introduces the Very Big Video Reasoning (VBVR) Dataset, a large-scale collection of over one million video clips organized into 200 curated reasoning tasks. It also presents VBVR-Bench, a benchmark framework that uses rule-based, human-aligned scorers for reproducible evaluation of video reasoning models. The authors conduct a large-scale scaling study, noting early signs of emergent generalization to unseen reasoning tasks, and make all resources publicly available.

The paper introduces CamVLM, a framework that equips large vision‑language models with the ability to actively control camera viewpoints for improved surveillance video understanding. It presents two new datasets: CCTV‑Anomaly, a large‑scale surveillance video collection with detailed captions and event annotations, and CamTrack‑53K, an object‑centric viewpoint trajectory dataset for learning camera actions. Using reinforcement learning, CamVLM learns long‑horizon observation strategies, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance in both passive and dynamic viewpoint settings.
