A Unified Score Matching Paradigm for Video Anomaly Detection and Anticipation

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.

Probe-VAD: Ordinal Likelihood Probing for Training-Free Video Anomaly Detection

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.

Event Stream based Multi-Modal Video Anomaly Detection: A Benchmark Dataset and Algorithms

arXiv:2607. 09114v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video anomaly detection (VAD) is critical for automated surveillance but remains fragile under challenging conditions such as illumination variations, fast motion, and complex backgrounds when relying solely on visible light videos.
