AVA-VLM: Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model for In-the-Wild Construction Site Monitoring

Existing construction-site Vision-Language Model (VLM) studies have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image, but we argue that this paradigm remains limited in operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency. To address these limitations, we propose AVA-VLM, an Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model that follows a human-inspired coarse-to-fine strategy: it first reasons over a low-resolution global image and requests a high-resolution local crop only when detailed inspection is needed. We further introduce a region-aware Chain-of-Thought dataset that teaches when to inspect, where to crop, and how to use local evidence. Experiments show that, for violation identification, AVA-VLM improves overall F1 from 62.0 to 75.1 while using only 30.6% of the baseline visual-token budget; for long-distance PPE-violation cases, F1 improves from 16.0 to 63.6. These results demonstrate AVA-VLM's improved robustness to distant and reduced-resolution visual evidence with substantially lower visual-token usage.

Test Input Validation for Vision-based DL Systems: An Active Learning Approach

Testing deep learning (DL) systems requires extensive and diverse, yet valid, test inputs. While synthetic test input generation methods, such as metamorphic testing, are widely used for DL testing, they risk introducing invalid inputs that do not accurately reflect real-world scenarios. Invalid test inputs can lead to misleading results. Hence, there is a need for automated validation of test inputs to ensure effective assessment of DL systems. In this paper, we propose a test input validation approach for vision-based DL systems. Our approach uses active learning to balance the trade-off between accuracy and the manual effort required for test input validation. Further, by employing multiple image-comparison metrics, it achieves better results in classifying valid and invalid test inputs compared to methods that rely on single metrics. We evaluate our approach using an industrial and a public-domain dataset. Our evaluation shows that our multi-metric, active learning-based approach produces several optimal accuracy-effort trade-offs, including those deemed practical and desirable by our industry partner. Furthermore, provided with the same level of manual effort, our approach is significantly more accurate than two state-of-the-art test input validation methods, achieving an average accuracy of 97%. Specifically, the use of multiple metrics, rather than a single metric, results in an average improvement of at least 5.4% in overall accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art baselines. Incorporating an active learning loop for test input validation yields an additional 7.5% improvement in average accuracy, bringing the overall average improvement of our approach to at least 12.9% compared to the baselines.

Low-Light Image Enhancement Framework for Improved Object Detection in Fisheye Lens Datasets

This study addresses the evolving challenges in urban traffic monitoring detection systems based on fisheye lens cameras by proposing a framework that improves the efficacy and accuracy of these systems. In the context of urban infrastructure and transportation management, advanced traffic monitoring systems have become critical for managing the complexities of urbanization and increasing vehicle density. Traditional monitoring methods, which rely on static cameras with narrow fields of view, are ineffective in dynamic urban environments, necessitating the installation of multiple cameras, which raises costs. Fisheye lenses, which were recently introduced, provide wide and omnidirectional coverage in a single frame, making them a transformative solution. However, issues such as distorted views and blurriness arise, preventing accurate object detection on these images. Motivated by these challenges, this study proposes a novel approach that combines a ransformer-based image enhancement framework and ensemble learning technique to address these challenges and improve traffic monitoring accuracy, making significant contributions to the future of intelligent traffic management systems. Our proposed methodological framework won 5th place in the 2024 AI City Challenge, Track 4, with an F1 score of 0.5965 on experimental validation data. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed system. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/daitranskku/AIC2024-TRACK4-TEAM15.

Skip-Connected Neural Networks with Layout Graphs for Floor Plan Auto-Generation

With the advent of AI and computer vision techniques, the quest for automated and efficient floor plan designs has gained momentum. This paper presents a novel approach using skip-connected neural networks integrated with layout graphs. The skip-connected layers capture multi-scale floor plan information, and the encoder-decoder networks with GNN facilitate pixel-level probability-based generation. Validated on the MSD dataset, our approach achieved a 93.9 mIoU score in the 1st CVAAD workshop challenge. Code and pre-trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/yuntaeJ/SkipNet-FloorPlanGe.
