## 🎞️ Overview

As MLLMs continue to advance, they remain largely focused on offline video comprehension, where all frames are pre-loaded before making queries. However, this is far from the human ability to process and respond to video streams in real-time, capturing the dynamic nature of multimedia content. To bridge this gap, **StreamingBench** introduces the first comprehensive benchmark for streaming video understanding in MLLMs.

### Key Evaluation Aspects
- 🎯 **Real-time Visual Understanding**: Can the model process and respond to visual changes in real-time?
- 🔊 **Omni-source Understanding**: Does the model integrate visual and audio inputs synchronously in real-time video streams?
- 🎬 **Contextual Understanding**: Can the model comprehend the broader context within video streams?

### Dataset Statistics
- 📊 **900** diverse videos
- 📝 **4,500** human-annotated QA pairs
- ⏱️ Five questions per video at different timestamps

## 🔮 Evaluation Pipeline

### Requirements

- Python 3.x
- ffmpeg-python

### Data Preparation

1. **Download Dataset**: Retrieve all necessary files from the [StreamingBench Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mjuicem/StreamingBench).
   
2. **Decompress Files**: Extract the downloaded files and organize them in the `./data` directory as follows:

```
   StreamingBench/
   ├── data/
   │   ├── real/               # Unzip Real Time Visual Understanding_*.zip into this folder
   │   ├── omni/               # Unzip other .zip files into this folder
   │   ├── sqa/                # Unzip Sequential Question Answering_*.zip into this folder
   │   └── proactive/          # Unzip Proactive Output_*.zip into this folder
   ```

3. **Preprocess Data**: Run the following command to preprocess the data:

```bash
   cd ./scripts
   bash preprocess.sh
   ```

### Model Preparation

Prepare your own model for evaluation by following the instructions provided [here](./docs/model_guide.md). This guide will help you set up and configure your model to ensure it is ready for testing against the dataset.

### Evaluation

Now you can run the benchmark:

```sh
bash eval.sh
```

This will run the benchmark and save the results to the specified output file. Then you can calculate the metrics using the following command:
```sh
bash stats.sh
```

## 🔬 Experimental Results

### Performance of Various MLLMs on StreamingBench
- 60 seconds of context preceding the query time (Main)

### Performance of Different MLLMs on the Proactive Output Task
*"≤ xs" means that the answer is considered correct if the actual output time is within x seconds of the ground truth.*
