"The goal of a practical anomaly detection system is to timely signal an activity that deviates normal patterns and identify the time window of the occurring anomaly. [It] can be considered as coarse level video understanding, which filters out anomalies from normal patterns." A critical task in video surveillance is detecting anomalous events such as traffic accidents, crimes or illegal activities. Anomalous events rarely occur as compared to normal activities. Hence the application of this task is to "alleviate the waste of labor and time, developing intelligent computer vision algorithms for automatic video anomaly detection".

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
7 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 7 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
