Multimodal Training with Knowledge Traction for Video Anomaly Detection

원문 초록

The task of weakly supervised video anomaly detection is challenging. Existing approaches mainly model video frame features and determine whether anomalies are present based on their magnitudes. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates external knowledge into training to improve model performance, robustness, and generalization. We leverage textual prompts and a large language model (LLM) to establish prior information for the specific task, and employ dictionary learning to normalize and compress this information. Moreover, during experiments, we observed inconsistencies in the textual descriptions extracted from similar video frames by image caption models. To address this, we devise a method that leverages an LLM and auxiliary information to ensure consistency in the textual descriptions of similar frames within a video. Finally, we introduce a feature processing approach that incorporates prior knowledge and cross-modal attention mechanisms. This approach learns the relationships and characteristics among different modalities to construct more accurate and reliable feature representations, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of downstream tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that our method surpasses other state-of-the-art approaches.
