BodyCam-VQA: Enhanced Body-Worn Camera Video Captioning via Multimodal Reasoning and Probe Question Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces BodyCam-VQA, an adaptive visual question answering framework designed to improve captioning of police body‑worn camera footage. By employing structured multimodal reasoning and probe question generation, the system extracts fine‑grained visual evidence that conventional captioning models miss. Experiments with various question generation models show that this VQA‑driven approach yields more reliable, objective, and detailed records of enforcement events.

Towards AI-Driven Policing: Interdisciplinary Knowledge Discovery from Police Body-Worn Camera Footage

The paper introduces an interdisciplinary framework that uses AI and machine learning to analyze police body‑worn camera footage from the Rochester Police Department. It combines image, audio, and natural language processing—including speaker separation, transcription, and large language models—to detect and classify interaction patterns such as respect, disrespect, escalation, and de‑escalation. A custom evaluation pipeline assesses transcription quality and behavior detection accuracy, aiming to support law‑enforcement review, training, and accountability.
