This project tests whether general-purpose VLMs can fill that explainability gap using structured domain-aware prompting.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Prompts give models physical context about melt shop environments: what pot haulers are, what molten metal implies, what worker corridors mean for safety. Two-stage reasoning pipeline: first describe the scene neutrally, then evaluate against safety conditions.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Output covers scene description, detected entities, spatial relationships, hazard assessment, risk level, and recommended action.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
