A Modular Zero-Shot Pipeline for Accident Detection, Localization, and Classification in Traffic Surveillance Video
Special thanks to Sarvesh Talele for his meaningful contributions, support, and wisdom that helped shape this work. Traffic cameras record the circumstances of a great many collisions, but methods that read those recordings automatically are usually trained on annotated footage from the same camera. This work asks what can be recovered without any labelled real-world data at all, using three independent modules and only pre-trained weights.
