解决交通场景小物体识别被忽略的问题,提升复杂问题回答准确率。
Beyond Scene Priors: Fine-Grained Traffic Scene Reasoning with Benchmarking and Query-Guided Small-Object Focus

- 用查询引导的小物体聚焦机制,精准定位关键视觉线索。
- 在4万+样本的精细交通推理数据集上达到74.1%准确率,优于基线2.1点。
- 无需额外检测或重编码,适合实时安全驾驶系统部署。
在高安全要求的交通场景中,回答复杂问题依赖微小且局部的视觉线索。然而,标准多模态大模型容易过度关注背景,导致关键小物体信息被淹没,这种现象称为‘关键证据稀释’。现有视觉问答数据集很少暴露此缺陷,因缺乏大规模、干扰物密集的评测任务。为此,我们提出细粒度交通推理基准(FGTR-Bench)和文本引导小物体推理多模态大模型(TSR-MLLM)。FGTR-Bench包含40,236个单图多选题,通过多智能体生成、一致性校验和专家审核构建,并配有4,947样本的独立测试集。为缓解证据稀释,TSR-MLLM基于Qwen3-VL-4B,采用查询条件化的文本引导小物体聚焦(TG-SOF)图,在解码器边界仅对最相关视觉标记添加稀疏的Top-K门控残差,保持文本令牌不变。结合轻量解码器适配,实现单次前向传播推理,无需外部检测器或图像重编码。在相同设置下,TSR-MLLM在FGTR-Bench上比最强4B基线高出2.1分(整体达74.1%),在证据定位任务上提升更显著。同时,在DriveQA-V(CARLA Signs)上使用贪婪解码也保持竞争力,无需特定任务微调。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In safety-critical traffic scenarios, answering complex questions relies on minute, localized visual cues. However, standard Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) tend to over-attend to backgrounds, overwhelming crucial small objects during visual-language alignment, a failure mode we term 'critical evidence dilution.' Furthermore, existing visual question answering (VQA) datasets rarely expose this flaw, as they lack large-scale, distractor-heavy evaluations that require pinpointing local evidence. To bridge this evaluation and architecture gap, we introduce the Fine-Grained Traffic Reasoning Benchmark (FGTR-Bench) and the Text-Guided Small-Object Reasoning MLLM (TSR-MLLM). FGTR-Bench comprises 40,236 single-image Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) created via multi-agent generation, consistency checks, and expert audits, alongside a disjoint 4,947-sample blind test split. To resolve evidence dilution, TSR-MLLM, built on Qwen3-VL-4B, uses a query-conditioned Text-Guided Small-Object Focus (TG-SOF) map. Applied once at the decoder boundary, the map adds sparse Top-K gated residuals to the most question-relevant vision slots while leaving text tokens unchanged. Together with lightweight decoder adaptation, TSR-MLLM preserves single-pass inference without external detectors or image re-encoding. Under matched settings, TSR-MLLM outperforms the strongest 4B baseline by 2.1 points on FGTR-Bench (74.1% overall), with larger gains on evidence-local tracks. Furthermore, it remains competitive on DriveQA-V (CARLA Signs) under greedy decoding without task-specific fine-tuning.
