核心创新

GTA(Gaze Target Agent)是首个无训练的视线引导推理Agent,利用预训练视觉-语言模型实现:

  1. 视线目标预测 — 预测人正在看哪里
  2. 注意力定位 — 定位被关注的物体
  3. 物体识别 — 语义解释被注视的物体
  4. 统一推理 — 上述任务联合完成,无需单独训练

关键突破: 完全不需要额外训练,直接利用预训练VLM + 视觉引导提示 + 记忆检索策略,在GazeFollow和GazeHOI基准上达到SOTA。

方法详解

1. 整体架构

2. 视觉引导提示

GTA 不修改VLM权重,而是通过精心设计的视觉提示引导VLM推理:

3. 与传统方法对比

特性 传统方法 GTA
训练需求 需大规模标注训练 无需训练
输出类型 单一坐标/热力图 坐标+物体框+语义解释
错误修正 无法自纠正 可识别错误标签
词汇约束 固定类别 无词汇约束
可解释性 低 高(语义解释)

实验结果

GazeFollow 基准

方法 AUC ↑ min-AUC ↑ Distance ↓ Angular ↓
GazeOnce 0.845 0.612 0.182 23.4°
VAA 0.867 0.638 0.165 21.2°
GazeAnywhere 0.912 0.701 0.128 18.5°
GTA (Ours) 0.918 0.712 0.121 17.9°

GazeHOI 基准

方法 mAP ↑ Accuracy ↑
HOI-only 0.521 0.673
VAA + HOI 0.589 0.712
GTA (Ours) 0.634 0.758

错误标签修正能力

GTA 能够识别并修正错误的真实标签:

场景 GT标签 GTA预测 修正
样本A (0.5, 0.3) (0.7, 0.4) ✅ 正确修正
样本B (0.2, 0.8) (0.4, 0.6) ✅ 正确修正
样本C (0.6, 0.5) (0.6, 0.5) 无需修正

IMS 应用启示

1. 无训练DMS增强

直接价值: 无需收集和标注驾驶场景视线数据,直接利用VLM的通用视觉理解能力。

应用场景 实现方式 IMS模块
视线落点 GTA预测+区域分类 分心检测
注意力物体 GTA物体定位 场景理解
语义解释 GTA文本输出 可解释DMS

2. 可解释DMS

传统DMS输出”分心/不分心”二值结果,GTA可以输出:

“驾驶员正在看向中控屏幕,可能正在操作导航,持续3.5秒,建议提醒。”

这种语义级解释对用户体验和事故分析至关重要。

3. 开发路线

阶段 行动 优先级
P0 集成VLM到DMS推理管道 🔴 高
P1 构建座舱场景记忆库 🟡 中
P2 微调视觉引导提示策略 🟡 中
P3 端侧VLM部署(INT4量化) 🟢 低

4. 硬件需求

方案 VLM 内存 帧率 适用场景
云端 Qwen2-VL-72B 40GB 10fps 开发验证
边缘 Qwen2-VL-7B INT4 4GB 5fps 原型验证
端侧 MiniCPM-V 2.6 INT4 2.5GB 15fps 量产部署
