A Unified Score Matching Paradigm for Video Anomaly Detection and Anticipation

Video anomaly detection (VAD) is a fundamental and safety-critical task in computer vision.

Key points

  • Recent generative approaches detect anomalies from a distributional perspective, but remain limited by local anomaly modes.
  • Meanwhile, video anomaly anticipation (VAA), as a proactive extension beyond post-hoc detection, introduces additional challenges.
  • To address these challenges, we propose a unified score-driven framework, termed Uni-DSM, based on denoising score matching (DSM), which models anomaly patterns through likelihood estimation and score functions over the learned data distribution.
  • For VAD, we instantiate an autoregressive denoising score matching (ADSM) mechanism, which progressively accumulates anomalous evidence via autoregressive denoising, enabling enhanced perception of local modes beyond visual cues.
