Recently, people tried to use a few anomalies for video anomaly detection (VAD) instead of only normal data during the training process. A side effect of data imbalance occurs when a few abnormal data face a vast number of normal data. The latest VAD works use triplet loss or data re-sampling strategy to lessen this problem. However, there is still no elaborately designed structure for discriminative VAD with a few anomalies. In this paper, we propose a DiscRiminative-gEnerative duAl Memory (DREAM) anomaly detection model to take advantage of a few anomalies and solve data imbalance. We use two shallow discriminators to tighten the normal feature distribution boundary along with a generator for the next frame prediction. Further, we propose a dual memory module to obtain a sparse feature representation in both normality and abnormality space. As a result, DREAM not only solves the data imbalance problem but also learn a reasonable feature space. Further theoretical analysis shows that our DREAM also works for the unknown anomalies. Comparing with the previous methods on UCSD Ped1, UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue, and ShanghaiTech, our model outperforms all the baselines with no extra parameters. The ablation study demonstrates the effectiveness of our dual memory module and discriminative-generative network.

Detecting abnormal activities in real-world surveillance videos is an important yet challenging task as the prior knowledge about video anomalies is usually limited or unavailable. Despite that many approaches have been developed to resolve this problem, few of them can capture the normal spatio-temporal patterns effectively and efficiently. Moreover, existing works seldom explicitly consider the local consistency at frame level and global coherence of temporal dynamics in video sequences. To this end, we propose Convolutional Transformer based Dual Discriminator Generative Adversarial Networks (CT-D2GAN) to perform unsupervised video anomaly detection. Specifically, we first present a convolutional transformer to perform future frame prediction. It contains three key components, i.e., a convolutional encoder to capture the spatial information of the input video clips, a temporal self-attention module to encode the temporal dynamics, and a convolutional decoder to integrate spatio-temporal features and predict the future frame. Next, a dual discriminator based adversarial training procedure, which jointly considers an image discriminator that can maintain the local consistency at frame-level and a video discriminator that can enforce the global coherence of temporal dynamics, is employed to enhance the future frame prediction. Finally, the prediction error is used to identify abnormal video frames. Thoroughly empirical studies on three public video anomaly detection datasets, i.e., UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue, and Shanghai Tech Campus, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adversarial spatio-temporal modeling framework.
As a kind of generative self-supervised learning methods, generative adversarial nets have been widely studied in the field of anomaly detection. However, the representation learning ability of the generator is limited since it pays too much attention to pixel-level details, and generator is difficult to learn abstract semantic representations from label prediction pretext tasks as effective as discriminator. In order to improve the representation learning ability of generator, we propose a self-supervised learning framework combining generative methods and discriminative methods. The generator no longer learns representation by reconstruction error, but the guidance of discriminator, and could benefit from pretext tasks designed for discriminative methods. Our discriminative-generative representation learning method has performance close to discriminative methods and has a great advantage in speed. Our method used in one-class anomaly detection task significantly outperforms several state-of-the-arts on multiple benchmark data sets, increases the performance of the top-performing GAN-based baseline by 6% on CIFAR-10 and 2% on MVTAD.
Anomaly detection in surveillance videos is a challenging task due to the diversity of anomalous video content and duration. In this paper, we consider video anomaly detection as a regression problem with respect to anomaly scores of video clips under weak supervision. Hence, we propose an anomaly detection framework, called Anomaly Regression Net (AR-Net), which only requires video-level labels in training stage. Further, to learn discriminative features for anomaly detection, we design a dynamic multiple-instance learning loss and a center loss for the proposed AR-Net. The former is used to enlarge the inter-class distance between anomalous and normal instances, while the latter is proposed to reduce the intra-class distance of normal instances. Comprehensive experiments are performed on a challenging benchmark: ShanghaiTech. Our method yields a new state-of-the-art result for video anomaly detection on ShanghaiTech dataset
In this paper, we propose a discriminative video representation for event detection over a large scale video dataset when only limited hardware resources are available. The focus of this paper is to effectively leverage deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to advance event detection, where only frame level static descriptors can be extracted by the existing CNN toolkit. This paper makes two contributions to the inference of CNN video representation. First, while average pooling and max pooling have long been the standard approaches to aggregating frame level static features, we show that performance can be significantly improved by taking advantage of an appropriate encoding method. Second, we propose using a set of latent concept descriptors as the frame descriptor, which enriches visual information while keeping it computationally affordable. The integration of the two contributions results in a new state-of-the-art performance in event detection over the largest video datasets. Compared to improved Dense Trajectories, which has been recognized as the best video representation for event detection, our new representation improves the Mean Average Precision (mAP) from 27.6% to 36.8% for the TRECVID MEDTest 14 dataset and from 34.0% to 44.6% for the TRECVID MEDTest 13 dataset. This work is the core part of the winning solution of our CMU-Informedia team in TRECVID MED 2014 competition.
Unlike conventional anomaly detection research that focuses on point anomalies, our goal is to detect anomalous collections of individual data points. In particular, we perform group anomaly detection (GAD) with an emphasis on irregular group distributions (e.g. irregular mixtures of image pixels). GAD is an important task in detecting unusual and anomalous phenomena in real-world applications such as high energy particle physics, social media, and medical imaging. In this paper, we take a generative approach by proposing deep generative models: Adversarial autoencoder (AAE) and variational autoencoder (VAE) for group anomaly detection. Both AAE and VAE detect group anomalies using point-wise input data where group memberships are known a priori. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate our models on real-world datasets. The empirical results demonstrate that our approach is effective and robust in detecting group anomalies.
