AVA-VLM: Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model for In-the-Wild Construction Site Monitoring

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are promising for construction-site monitoring, and recent construction-tailored VLMs have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image. We argue that this direct paradigm remains limited for in-the-wild deployment in terms of operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency.

OpenVAM: Open-World Visual Attention Modeling with VLMs

OpenVAM is a new framework for visual attention modeling that combines a dense saliency map with language‑based explanations. It uses a decoupled design: a visual pathway for precise localization and a vision‑language head that generates grounded what/why explanations. The method is trained in three stages to preserve localization while adding language grounding, and a scalable pipeline creates multi‑domain annotations for evaluation.
