Existing video benchmarks evaluate action recognition on consumer videos, egocentric recordings, or simulated industrial environments. They do not test vision-language models under the visual and procedural conditions of real industrial CCTV, where workers appear as distant figures amid dust, steam, low light, glare, occlusion, and overlapping activities.

arXiv:2606. 05748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Global-scale video moderation faces a dual challenge: the need for fine-grained multi-modal reasoning and the demand for interpretable outputs to support downstream enforcement.
The paper investigates when vision‑language models (VLMs) can independently analyze human‑centered video and when human oversight is still needed. By reviewing 1,702 CHI 2026 papers, the authors develop a five‑dimensional taxonomy of video annotation tasks and build a benchmark of 15 representative tasks. Experiments show that VLMs alone achieve near‑human accuracy (HNS = 97.0), while human verification of VLM outputs yields the highest accuracy (HNS = 121.5) and significantly reduces annotation time and cost.
arXiv:2608.23313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language model safety benchmarks typically evaluate only final responses: whether a model refuses, warns, or complies. This outcome-level view c...
Automated evaluation is essential for scaling generative 3D systems, where exhaustive human review is costly and slow. However, the reliability of an automated judge depends on the entire evaluation pipeline, not only the underlying vision-language model (VLM), but also how assets are rendered, what visual evidence is provided, how the task is specified, and how human reference labels are constructed.
Video provides a rich record of human behavior, interaction, and situated contexts, offering important evidence for understanding people and conducting human-centered research. As vision-language mode...
