ECCV Workshops 2026

Summary

PSI-VQA evaluates multimodal language models on ambiguous pedestrian intent in automated driving. Its 1,475 questions cover 244 dashcam videos and ask models to predict crossing behavior, identify supporting and opposing visual cues, and locate decisive moments. The benchmark extends annotations from the PSI dataset and examines how well models reason about fine-grained social and temporal evidence.
