📝 摘要(中文)
多视角视频理解需要整合来自多个非重叠摄像头流的空间和时间证据。我们提出MVVBench,这是一个基于真实世界多摄像头数据集构建的多视角视频推理基准。每个问题在视角和时间轴上都是单视角模糊的,只有通过跨视角和时间的联合推理才能唯一解决。MVVBench涵盖了多样的动态场景,考察了六种能力,并提供了人类编写的问答和严格的验证。此外,我们分析了当前视觉语言模型成功或失败的原因,并提出了在推理时激发潜在多视角能力的策略。最后,我们展示了使用可验证奖励的强化学习可以激发基础模型的一些潜在多视角能力,指向未来训练方法的有希望方向。

📄 摘要(原文)
Multi-view video understanding requires integrating spatial and temporal evidence across multiple, often non-overlapping camera streams: tracking entities as they transition between viewpoints, aligning events across time, and reasoning about latent 4D continuity rather than any single visible frame. We introduce MVVBench, a benchmark for multi-view video reasoning built from real world multi camera datasets. Questions are curated to be monocular-ambiguous along both the view and the temporal axis: each question is unanswerable from any single view in the designated input set, and the majority are further unanswerable from any single moment. Each question becomes uniquely solvable only by jointly reasoning across views and across time. MVVBench spans diverse dynamic scenes and probes six capabilities: implicit/explicit attribute identification, implicit/explicit relative distance, relative camera pose, and compositional counting, with human-authored QA and rigorous verification. Beyond benchmarking, we provide an extensive analysis of when and why current vision language models succeed or fail, characterizing errors due to temporal mis-localization, cross-view identity breaks, and brittle multi-hop reasoning. We then study inference-time elicitation strategies that unlock latent multi-view competence---task-specific chain-of-thought scaffolds and structured cross-view evidence aggregation---yielding substantial gains without retraining. Finally, we present preliminary evidence that reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards can elicit some latent multi-view competence in the base model, pointing to training-time approaches as a promising direction for future work. Together, MVVBench offers a rigorous evaluation of 4D multi-view reasoning and a foundation for future progress toward reliable embodied perception.
