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...
Probe‑VAD introduces an ordinal binary‑probing framework that leverages frozen vision‑language models for training‑free video anomaly detection. By querying ten ordered severity thresholds and extracting YES/NO continuation likelihoods, it builds a cumulative severity profile that is converted into a continuous anomaly score with isotonic projection for ordinal consistency. Experiments on public benchmarks show that this simple interface yields superior performance at low computational cost, avoiding the limitations of caption‑based compression or restricted numerical scoring.

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.
The paper introduces a new task called Quality Anomaly Perception for UGC Image Enhancement (UEAP) and presents the first benchmark dataset, UEAP-4k, featuring fine‑grained annotations of anomaly categories, locations, and severity levels in real‑world user‑generated content. It proposes the Difference‑Fusion Anomaly Perception Method (DFAP‑UGC), which fuses explicit differences between enhanced images and their references using dense spatial querying, regional verification, and quality‑aware ranking to robustly identify localized anomalies. A Locality‑Aware Dynamic Task Prioritization (LADTP) training strategy is also introduced to enable efficient end‑to‑end learning without multi‑stage overhead, and experiments demonstrate that DFAP‑UGC outperforms adapted classical baselines.
