Multimodal LLMs estimate driver responsibility in ego-view accident videos

Researchers have introduced a new task called responsibility distribution estimation, specifically for ego-view accident videos. This task aims to predict the percentage of responsibility assigned to each agent involved in an accident based on the driver's perspective. The team developed an LLM-assisted annotation pipeline and fine-tuned multimodal large language models using various inputs like raw frames, enhanced segmentation, and textual descriptions. Their experiments show that multimodal LLMs can effectively handle this complex reasoning task, offering a new direction for socially and legally relevant multimodal analysis beyond simple accident classification. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more nuanced AI analysis of real-world events, potentially aiding in accident reconstruction and legal proceedings.

    Responsibility Distribution Estimation in Ego-View Accident Videos with Multimodal Large Language Models

    arXiv:2607.03591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies on multimodal traffic accident understanding have mainly relied on infrastructure-camera footage, satellite imagery, or structured crash records. However, such data sources are costly to deploy and maintain at large…
