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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
