# π¨ RiskCueBench
> A benchmark dataset for evaluating risk reasoning capabilities in video understanding models
[](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Yogesh914/RiskCueBench)
---
## π Overview
RiskCueBench provides fine-grained annotations of **risk signals**βvisual cues that precede potentially dangerous events. This dataset contains annotated video clips from two domains: **π traffic accidents** and **π’ protest events**, designed to test temporal risk anticipation and visual reasoning.
### β¨ Key Features
| | Feature | Description |
|---|---------|-------------|
| π― | **Risk Signal Annotations** | Temporal boundaries marking when risk indicators appear |
| π | **Rich Descriptions** | Detailed narratives of visual cues and event progressions |
| π·οΈ | **Binary Labels** | Clear yes/no labels for whether risk materializes |
| π | **Cross-domain** | Two distinct domains for generalization testing |
### π Evaluation Tasks
The dataset enables evaluation of models on:
- π **Risk Signal Detection** β Identifying visual cues that indicate potential danger
- β±οΈ **Temporal Reasoning** β Understanding the progression from risk signals to outcomes
- π **Cross-domain Generalization** β Testing on both traffic and social scenarios

## π Dataset Statistics
| Split | Domain | Samples | Description |
|:------|:-------|:-------:|:------------|
| `carcrash` | π Traffic | **502** | Dashcam footage of driving scenarios |
| `protest` | π’ Social Events | **484** | Protest and crowd footage |

## π₯ Downloading the Videos
### π Car Crash Videos
The car crash videos are sourced from the **Car Crash Dataset (CCD)** published in ACM MM 2020.
**To download:**
1. π Visit the official repository: **[CarCrashDataset](https://github.com/Cogito2012/CarCrashDataset)**
2. π¦ Download the dataset from Google Drive (link provided in the repository)
3. π’ The `video_id` column corresponds to the video filenames in the `Crash-1500` and `Normal` folders
π Citation for CCD
```bibtex
@InProceedings{BaoMM2020,
author = {Bao, Wentao and Yu, Qi and Kong, Yu},
title = {Uncertainty-based Traffic Accident Anticipation with Spatio-Temporal Relational Learning},
booktitle = {ACM Multimedia Conference},
year = {2020}
}
```
### π’ Protest Videos
The protest videos are sourced from **YouTube**. The `video_id` column contains the YouTube video ID.
**URL Format:**
```
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video_id}
```
**Example:** For `video_id = "5gM1gnMkUKU"` β [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gM1gnMkUKU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gM1gnMkUKU)
π‘ **Tip:** Use tools like `yt-dlp` or `pytube` to download videos programmatically.

## π Column Descriptions
| Column | Type | Description |
|:-------|:-----|:------------|
| `video_id` | `str` | π¬ Unique identifier for the video. For car crash: filename ID from CCD. For protest: YouTube video ID. |
| `riskVisualIndicator` | `str` | ποΈ Concise description of visual cues that signal potential risk |
| `riskSignalDescription` | `str` | π Detailed narrative of what happens during the risk signal period |
| `riskSignalStart` | `str` | β±οΈ Frame marking the **beginning** of the risk signal |
| `riskSignalEnd` | `str` | β±οΈ Frame marking the **end** of the risk signal |
| `accidentStartFrame` | `str` | π₯ Frame when incident begins (`"/"` = no incident) |
| `accidentEndFrame` | `str` | π Frame when incident ends |
| `riskLabel` | `str` | π·οΈ `"yes"` = risk materializes, `"no"` = remains safe |

## π» Usage Example
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# π¦ Load the full dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Yogesh914/RiskCueBench")
# π Access specific splits
carcrash_data = dataset["carcrash"]
protest_data = dataset["protest"]
# π― Filter for risky scenarios
risky_carcrash = carcrash_data.filter(lambda x: x["riskLabel"] == "yes")
risky_protest = protest_data.filter(lambda x: x["riskLabel"] == "yes")
# π Access a sample
sample = carcrash_data[0]
print(f"Video ID: {sample['video_id']}")
print(f"Risk Signal: {sample['riskSignalDescription']}")
print(f"Risk Label: {sample['riskLabel']}")
```

## π Data Samples
### π Car Crash Example (Risk = β
Yes)
```yaml
video_id: 1
riskVisualIndicator: "Black car, intersection"
riskSignalDescription: "First, a black-colored car enters the intersection against
the traffic, then it continues into the driver's path."
riskSignalStart: 23 # frame number
riskSignalEnd: 31 # frame number
accidentStartFrame: 32 # frame number
accidentEndFrame: 50
riskLabel: "yes"
```
### π’ Protest Example (Risk = β No)
```yaml
video_id: "5gM1gnMkUKU"
riskVisualIndicator: "Police body language, repeated hand gesture"
riskSignalDescription: "First a group of geared police show up, then one police
use subtle body language to express message seem to be
'come here', and did it twice."
riskSignalStart: "00:00" # MM:SS format
riskSignalEnd: "00:13" # MM:SS format
accidentStartFrame: "/" # no incident
accidentEndFrame: "/"
riskLabel: "no"
```
### π’ Protest Example (Risk = β
Yes)
```yaml
video_id: "m6CwOP4rUAo"
riskVisualIndicator: "Police tank appears, gun raised, aiming gesture"
riskSignalDescription: "First a few police on police tank show up, then the
police tank raise gun up and target at the protestors"
riskSignalStart: "00:17" # MM:SS format
riskSignalEnd: "00:18" # MM:SS format
accidentStartFrame: "00:19"
accidentEndFrame: "00:25"
riskLabel: "yes"
```
