New Video Anomaly Model 'CaC' Improves Detection Accuracy

Researchers have introduced Concentrate and Concentrate (CaC), a novel anomaly detection model for videos that leverages Vision-Language Models. CaC employs a coarse-to-fine approach, first identifying anomalous time windows globally and then performing detailed spatial localization within those windows. The model is trained using a three-stage progressive paradigm, incorporating supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning with custom temporal and spatial IoU rewards. Experiments show CaC achieves a 25.7% accuracy improvement on fine-grained anomaly benchmarks and reduces anomalies in generated videos by 11.7%. AI

    CaC: Advancing Video Reward Models via Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Concentrating

    arXiv:2605.11723v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we propose Concentrate and Concentrate (CaC), a coarse-to-fine anomaly reward model based on Vision-Language Models. During inference, it first conducts a global temporal scan to anchor anomalous time window…
