LogiScope-VQA: Benchmarking Vision-Language Models for Logistics Hazard Identification in Industrial Scenarios

LogiScope‑VQA is a new benchmark dataset for evaluating vision‑language models in logistics hazard identification. It contains 2,476 images, 2,918 videos, and 10,274 VQA pairs drawn from real industrial warehouses, covering 18 core objects and 20 risk types across 39 subtasks. Experiments show that even advanced proprietary models lag behind human experts, highlighting a significant gap in perception, understanding, and reasoning for industrial safety.

VTOS: Learning to Orchestrate Vision Tools by Co-Searching Solutions and Observers

VTOS (Vision Tools Orchestration Search) is a framework that adaptively orchestrates vision foundation tools—such as open‑vocabulary detectors, segmentation models, and post‑processing operators—by jointly searching for executable solution programs and observer programs that diagnose failures and provide feedback. The observer programs feed observations into a shared VisionThoughts knowledge base, guiding subsequent searches. In two case studies—dense object counting on LVIS‑Count and zero‑shot plant‑disease segmentation on PlantSeg‑OOD—VTOS outperforms static tool pipelines and agentic visual‑programming baselines, especially in complex scenarios like dense, occluded scenes and out‑of‑distribution segmentation.
