Summarize:

TL;DR: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often struggle with nailing down the exact timing of events in drone footage, especially when faced with new environments. SlotVTG introduces a clever, lightweight adapter that teaches MLLMs to zero in on objects, dramatically boosting their ability to accurately pinpoint events across all sorts of video streams.
