SynCrash: A Multi-Stage Pipeline for Zero-Shot Accident Detection and Localization in Traffic Surveillance Video

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 30, 2026 · UTC

We present SynCrash, a multi-stage pipeline for zero-shot accident detection, spatial localization, and collision-type classification in fixed-view CCTV surveillance video. Our approach addresses the ACCIDENT at CVPR 2026 Challenge, which requires predicting when an accident occurs, where in the frame the impact happens, and what type of collision it is, all without access to labeled real-world training data. The pipeline operates in three decoupled stages: (1) Temporal localization via a VideoMAEv2-giant backbone fine-tuned on CARLA-based synthetic clips with metadata-aware embeddings and den
