Researchers have developed a novel two-pass pipeline for identifying rare traffic events in surveillance videos without requiring fine-tuning. This method first performs a coarse localization of events across the entire video and then refines the temporal and spatial details in a second pass. The system utilizes distinct vision-language models, Qwen3-VL-Plus for grounding and Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite for classification, achieving state-of-the-art results on the ACCIDENT@CVPR 2026 benchmark.
