AI-DRIVEN BEHAVIOR PREDICTION
Seeing is Believing (and Predicting): Context-Aware Multi-Human Behavior Prediction with Vision Language Models
Accurately predicting human behaviors is crucial for mobile robots operating in human-populated environments. While prior research primarily focuses on predicting actions in single-human scenarios, several robotic applications require understanding multiple human behaviors from a third-person perspective. This paper introduces CAMP-VLM, a Vision Language Model framework, to address this complex challenge, integrating visual inputs and spatial awareness.

CAMP-VLM: A VLM-Based Framework
CAMP-VLM integrates visual inputs from video frames with Scene Graphs for context-aware, multi-human behavior prediction. It leverages a Vision Language Model (VLM) backbone, fine-tuned to generate textual future human behavior labels.
Enterprise Process Flow
Enhancing Prediction with Spatial Awareness
Scene Graphs (SGs) are a hierarchical representation encoding semantic and spatial relationships among objects. By converting SGs into a human-readable JSON format, CAMP-VLM gains crucial spatial awareness, significantly improving human-object interaction predictions.
Two-Stage Fine-Tuning for Optimal Performance
CAMP-VLM employs a two-stage fine-tuning process: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) adapts the pre-trained VLM to specific tasks, yielding significant gains from limited data. Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) further aligns the model with human preferences, refining output precision and reducing character-level deviations. This combined approach avoids overfitting and enhances accuracy.
| Strategy | Full Accuracy | Verb Accuracy | Noun Accuracy | Edit Distance (↓) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pretrained | 0.103 | 0.156 | 0.127 | 0.692 |
| SFT | 0.294 | 0.392 | 0.328 | 0.315 |
| SFT+DPO | 0.301 | 0.473 | 0.439 | 0.328 |
Superior Accuracy Across Diverse Scenarios
CAMP-VLM consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines like AntGPT and CAP, achieving up to a 66.9% improvement in prediction accuracy across various multi-human and scene configurations, including synthetic and real-world environments.
Real-World Impact: Proactive Robotics
In complex environments, robotic systems equipped with CAMP-VLM can anticipate human actions (e.g., yielding, turn-taking, object interactions) from a third-person perspective. This enables robots to make proactive decisions, ensuring safer and more efficient interactions in dynamic settings.
This capability is vital for autonomous navigation and human-robot collaboration, transforming how intelligent systems operate alongside people, leading to more harmonious and productive human-robot teams.
