• Abstract summary: We propose an efficient abnormal event detection model based on a lightweight masked auto-encoder (AE) applied at the video frame level. We introduce an approach to weight tokens based on motion gradients, thus shifting the focus from the static background scene to the foreground objects. We generate synthetic abnormal events to augment the training videos, and task the masked AE model to jointly reconstruct the original frames.

• Abstract: We propose an efficient abnormal event detection model based on a lightweight masked auto-encoder (AE) applied at the video frame level. The novelty of the proposed model is threefold. First, we introduce an approach to weight tokens based on motion gradients, thus shifting the focus from the static background scene to the foreground objects. Second, we integrate a teacher decoder and a student decoder into our architecture, leveraging the discrepancy between the outputs given by the two decoders to improve anomaly detection. Third, we generate synthetic abnormal events to augment the training videos, and task the masked AE model to jointly reconstruct the original frames (without anomalies) and the corresponding pixel-level anomaly maps. Our design leads to an efficient and effective model, as demonstrated by the extensive experiments carried out on four benchmarks: Avenue, ShanghaiTech, UBnormal and UCSD Ped2. The empirical results show that our model achieves an excellent trade-off between speed and accuracy, obtaining competitive AUC scores, while processing 1655 FPS. Hence, our model is between 8 and 70 times faster than competing methods. We also conduct an ablation study to justify our design. Our code is freely available at: https://github.com/ristea/aed-mae.

  We propose a joint modeling scheme where four decoders share the same encoder -- we refer to this as 4D modeling. To efficiently train the 4D model, we introduce a two-stage training strategy that stabilizes multitask learning. In addition, we propose three novel one-pass beam search algorithms by combining three decoders.

  Self-supervised foundation models have shown great potential in computer vision thanks to the pre-training paradigm of masked autoencoding. This paper focuses on pre-training relatively small vision transformer models that could be efficiently adapted to downstream tasks. We propose a new asymmetric masked distillation (AMD) framework for pre-training relatively small models with autoencoding.

  We propose a very fast frame-level model for anomaly detection in video. It learns to detect anomalies by distilling knowledge from multiple highly accurate object-level teacher models. Our model achieves the best trade-off between speed and accuracy, due to its previously unheard-of speed of 1480 FPS.

  We propose a model that is accurate, robust, efficient, generalizable, and end-to-end trainable. In order to achieve a better accuracy, we propose two lightweight modules. DQInit dynamically initializes the queries of decoder from the inputs, enabling the model to achieve as good accuracy as the ones with multiple decoder layers. QAMem is designed to enhance the discriminative ability of queries on low-resolution feature maps by assigning separate memory values to each query rather than a shared one.
