TD-VAD: Breaking Visual Dependence in Video Anomaly Detection with Text-Driven Learning

This work proposes a novel Text-Driven Video Anomaly Detection (TD-VAD) approach, which utilizes video-like text descriptions with temporal characteristics generated by LLM to train a VAD model, without any reliance on target-domain anomaly data.

MuST-VAD: Mutual Structured Learning for Video Anomaly Detection

In this paper, we propose MuST-VAD, a mutual structured learning framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection (VAD) in which an anomaly detector and a large vision-language model (LVLM) exchange their acquired knowledge. Detectors in weakly supervised VAD learn anomaly scores from features extracted by a fix...

YOLO world guides open world video anomaly detection

Experimental results show that the evaluation quantifies both benchmark anomaly detection and direct known-versus-unknown separation under the declared protocols, and that object prompts dominate the fused decision, while the auxiliary prompt groups do not yet contribute positively under the held-out-category protocol.

Sparsity-Controllable Normality Learning With Vision–Language Models for Scenario-Related Video Anomaly Detection

Video anomaly detection (VAD) is critical for automation systems and security surveillance. Recently, multimodal vision–language models (MLLMs) have attracted increasing attention due to their rich pre-trained knowledge and strong explainability. However, existing MLLM-based approaches struggle to adapt to real-world s...

Generalizing Single-Frame Supervision to Event-Level Understanding for Video Anomaly Detection

Extensive experiments show SF-VAD achieves state-of-the-art detection results while offering a favorable trade-off between performance and annotation cost, and Frame-guided Progressive Learning (FPL), to generalize sparse frame supervision to event-level anomaly understanding.
