A surveillance system that detects an anomaly often has to repair the footage as well, yet the two tasks are studied in isolation: training-free anomaly detectors stop at a score or a label, while tra...

Abstract: Analytics on video archives are bottlenecked by decoding. In a dense pipeline that runs a detector on every frame, decoding is a small fraction of the...

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.
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.

PERSIST redefines shot boundary detection as a task of semantic discrimination, requiring a persistent update of a video’s latent temporal state rather than a transient visual change. It employs a FiLM‑conditioned sinusoidal representation network and a structured discriminator that fuses local change, transient impulse, and return‑to‑trend cues into a single interpretable per‑frame signal. The method achieves comparable recall to leading detectors while significantly reducing false positives from flash, text overlay, and archival artifacts, and it is trained solely on real transitions from ClipShots.

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.

We introduce EgoPlay, an event-triggered video-to-video editor for egocentric streams, obtained by fine-tuning a pretrained V2V diffusion transformer on event-conditioned data built primarily from Ego4D. Given a monocular video and an event-triggered prompt of the form "when X happens, do Y," EgoPlay infers whether and when event X occurs, preserves pre-event frames, and applies edit Y only to the post-event continuation.
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.

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.
