New MS2CAST framework enhances video anomaly detection with cross-attention and Vision Mamba

Researchers have developed MS2CAST, a new framework for detecting anomalies in video footage. This system utilizes a multi-scale cross-attention encoder that combines features from a vision transformer (MViTv2-S) and a CNN (ConvNeXt-T) to better capture spatial information. For modeling temporal dynamics, MS2CAST integrates either a Swin Transformer-based module (SwinLSTM) or a Vision Mamba-based module (VMRNN), avoiding the need for computationally intensive optical flow calculations. The framework has demonstrated competitive performance on standard datasets like UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue, and ShanghaiTech, while maintaining low GPU memory usage. AI

    MS2CAST: A Video Anomaly Detection Framework via Multi-Scale Spatial Cross-Attention and Efficient Spatiotemporal Networks

    arXiv:2610.29649v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video anomaly detection (VAD) is a challenging task for surveillance systems due to the scarcity and diversity of anomalous events. While semi-supervised VAD approaches have advanced the field, many rely on computationally intensive…
