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.

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.
The paper investigates how weakly supervised video anomaly detectors, trained with only video‑level labels, are evaluated using frame‑level metrics such as Micro‑AUROC and AP. It shows that these metrics largely measure a detector’s ability to separate different videos rather than correctly ordering anomalous moments within a single video, a phenomenon termed temporal dilution. Experiments demonstrate that a detector can achieve high pooled scores even when it assigns the same score to every frame in a video, indicating that current evaluation practices may overstate temporal localization performance.
