Video anomaly detection (VAD) is a fundamental and safety-critical task in computer vision. Recent generative approaches detect anomalies from a distributional perspective, but remain limited by local...
The paper introduces Uni-DSM, a unified score-driven framework that uses denoising score matching to model video anomaly patterns for both detection and anticipation. It employs a shared noise-conditioned score transformer backbone with scene-dependent embeddings and motion-aware weighting, and differentiates between VAD and VAA through autoregressive denoising and a self-distilled denoising mechanism. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance for both tasks while maintaining high efficiency.

The paper introduces an adaptive temporal modeling framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection that addresses the limitations of rigid Multiple Instance Learning approaches. It presents a Temporal Refinement Module using dynamic positional encoding and a learnable class token to capture long‑range dependencies, and an Event Segmentation Module that identifies event boundaries via temporal discontinuity analysis to produce discriminative event‑level representations. An adaptive similarity‑based fusion strategy replaces fixed top‑k heuristics, dynamically integrating snippet‑level and event‑level anomaly scores into video‑level predictions, and the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two benchmarks.

arXiv:2606. 14724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video anomaly detection in surveillance settings must balance detection accuracy against real-time throughput, a tension that existing methods address either through stronger feature extractors or more efficient architectures, but rarely both.

Video anomaly detection (VAD) aims to identify and temporally localize abnormal events in videos. Supervised methods learn anomaly decision boundaries from target-domain annotations but require substantial in-domain data.
MoG-VLM is a motion‑guided vision‑language model designed for efficient video anomaly detection. It uses a lightweight motion signal, Temporal Gradient Magnitude, to perform content‑aware sampling and activates dense multi‑frame VLM reasoning only around frames with high anomaly likelihood via a hierarchical dual‑stream design. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art AUC‑ROC scores on four benchmarks and delivers a 1.31× inference speedup on XD‑Violence.

Efficient Zero‑Shot Video Anomaly Detection via Signal‑Aware Adaptive Fusion (SAAF) introduces a framework that leverages dual‑signal adaptive sampling—delta and drift signals—to detect sudden and gradual anomalies without training data. It employs a threshold‑gated cascaded architecture that first applies lightweight frame‑level scoring before invoking costly video‑level analysis only when needed, and a signal‑aware weighted fusion mechanism that adapts score combination based on the triggering signal. Across four benchmarks, SAAF achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on XD‑Violence, MSAD, and ShanghaiTech while delivering significant throughput improvements over prior zero‑shot methods.
