Can computer vision help make classrooms safer? In this pilot study, we investigate privacy-aware and computationally efficient classroom incident recognition from CCTV-style observations.
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.

MINT is a foundation model that directly predicts world-space two-hand trajectories from egocentric RGB video, jointly estimating camera motion, hand states, and hand presence in a single spatiotemporal representation. It uses an open-source labeling pipeline, EGOPIPELINE, to generate large-scale pseudo-labels for pretraining, followed by fine-tuning on a small set of high-quality joint annotations. The model outperforms existing multi-stage approaches in accuracy and speed, and generalizes zero‑shot to unseen egocentric datasets.

arXiv:2603. 09731v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly considered as a foundation for embodied agents, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably reason about the long-term physical consequences of actions from an egocentric viewpoint.

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.
