• Abstract summary: We propose a simple yet efficient framework for video anomaly detection. The pseudo anomaly samples are synthesized from only normal data by embedding random mask tokens without extra data processing. We also propose a normalcy consistency training strategy that encourages the AEs to better learn the regular knowledge from normal and corresponding pseudo anomaly data.

• Abstract: Due to the limited availability of anomalous samples for training, video anomaly detection is commonly viewed as a one-class classification problem. Many prevalent methods investigate the reconstruction difference produced by AutoEncoders (AEs) under the assumption that the AEs would reconstruct the normal data well while reconstructing anomalies poorly. However, even with only normal data training, the AEs often reconstruct anomalies well, which depletes their anomaly detection performance. To alleviate this issue, we propose a simple yet efficient framework for video anomaly detection. The pseudo anomaly samples are introduced, which are synthesized from only normal data by embedding random mask tokens without extra data processing. We also propose a normalcy consistency training strategy that encourages the AEs to better learn the regular knowledge from normal and corresponding pseudo anomaly data. This way, the AEs learn more distinct reconstruction boundaries between normal and abnormal data, resulting in superior anomaly discrimination capability. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  A typical approach to anomaly detection is to train an autoencoder (AE) with normal data only so that it learns the patterns or representations of the normal data. We propose creating pseudo anomalies from learned adaptive noise by exploiting the weakness of AE, i.e., reconstructing anomalies too well.

  Autoencoders (AEs) often start reconstructing anomalies as well which depletes their anomaly detection performance. We propose a temporal pseudo anomaly synthesizer that generates fake-anomalies using only normal data. An AE is then trained to maximize the reconstruction loss on pseudo anomalies while minimizing this loss on normal data.

  We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies.
