📷 CameraBench: Towards Understanding Camera Motions in Any Video
SfMs and VLMs performance on CameraBench: Generative VLMs (evaluated with VQAScore) trail classical SfM/SLAM in pure geometry, yet they outperform discriminative VLMs that rely on CLIPScore/ITMScore and—even better—capture scene‑aware semantic cues missed by SfM After simple supervised fine‑tuning (SFT) on ≈1,400 extra annotated clips, our 7B Qwen2.5‑VL doubles its AP, outperforming the current best MegaSAM.
