🚀 Advancing traffic safety with Woven City's Vision AI at CVPR Our Vision AI Platform team organized the Track 2 ‘AI City Challenge’ at the 2024 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Seattle! https://lnkd.in/g_n8UsNZ Focused on the use of dense video captioning to improve traffic safety, we’re thrilled to congratulate the winners of our challenge for their submission of CityLLaVA.  As organizers, we’re delighted that an excellent, novel fine-tuning framework for Visual Language Models (VLMs), designed for urban scenarios, has been created from our task. 🚦 We’re also excited to share that the traffic safety dataset we provided for the AI Challenge has been accepted at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) in September! It includes multi-views with fine-grained traffic video captioning and 3D gaze and location projection for annotation. https://lnkd.in/g8DrbYKf 🇮🇹 We’re looking forward to meeting you there in Milan.
