EgoPolice: A Benchmark for Egocentric Video Understanding in High-Stakes Police Body-Worn Camera Footage

Max Gonzalez Saez-Diez, Jihoon Chung, Adam D. Wolsky, Gregory Lanzalotto, Dean Knox, Jonathan Mummolo, Brandon M. Stewart, Olga Russakovsky

We introduce EgoPolice, a carefully curated dataset of real, egocentric police-civilian interactions, sourced from publicly available body-worn camera videos. We select police-civilian action labels that are critical for police behavioral research and annotate them at a second-by-second granularity. The videos feature rapid and irregular camera motion, dense human interactions, and rare high-stakes events, making the dataset a challenging benchmark for motion-robust and context-aware egocentric perception. We provide two different tasks, classification and multiple-choice question-answering, and benchmark both open-source and closed-source models. We find that even the best video models like Gemini 2.5 Pro still struggle to accurately predict high-risk actions such as "Weapon Out". Beyond serving as a benchmark, EgoPolice provides a foundation for developing models capable of identifying events of interest in large-scale body-worn camera video repositories, enabling more efficient downstream human review.

LIME: Learning Intent-aware Camera Motion from Egocentric Video

Boyang Sun, Jiajie Li, Yung-Hsu Yang, Chenyangguang Zhang, Tim Engelbracht, Sunghwan Hong, et al.

Autonomous robots often need to move their camera before they can act: to inspect an object, reveal an occluded region, or obtain a view that responds to a user's intent. While vision-language navigation translates instructions to base motion and vision-language-action policies m…
