• Abstract: Unsupervised visual anomaly detection conveys practical significance in many scenarios and is a challenging task due to the unbounded definition of anomalies. Moreover, most previous methods are application-specific, and establishing a unified model for anomalies across application scenarios remains unsolved. This paper proposes a novel hybrid framework termed Siamese Transition Masked Autoencoders(ST-MAE) to handle various visual anomaly detection tasks uniformly via deep feature transition. Concretely, the proposed method first extracts hierarchical semantics features from a pre-trained deep convolutional neural network and then develops a feature decoupling strategy to split the deep features into two disjoint feature patch subsets. Leveraging the decoupled features, the ST-MAE is developed with the Siamese encoders that operate on each subset of feature patches and perform the latent representations transition of two subsets, along with a lightweight decoder that reconstructs the original feature from the transitioned latent representation. Finally, the anomalous attributes can be detected using the semantic deep feature residual. Our deep feature transition scheme yields a nontrivial and semantic self-supervisory task to extract prototypical normal patterns, which allows for learning uniform models that generalize well for different visual anomaly detection tasks. The extensive experiments conducted demonstrate that the proposed ST-MAE method can advance state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks across application scenarios with a superior inference efficiency, which exhibits great potential to be the uniform model for unsupervised visual anomaly detection.

  In unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) research, it is necessary to develop a computationally efficient and scalable solution. We revisit the reconstruction-by-inpainting approach and rethink to improve it by analyzing strengths and weaknesses. We propose Feature Attenuation of Defective Representation (FADeR) that only employs two layers which attenuates feature information of anomaly reconstruction.

  Video anomaly detection (VAD) with weak supervision has achieved remarkable performance in utilizing video-level labels to discriminate whether a video frame is normal or abnormal. Recent studies attempt to tackle a more realistic setting, open-set VAD, which aims to detect unseen anomalies given seen anomalies and normal videos. This paper takes a step further and explores open-vocabulary video anomaly detection (OVVAD), in which we aim to leverage pre-trained large models to detect and categorize seen and unseen anomalies.
