[NeurIPS 2024] MSAD - A Benchmark for Video Anomaly Detection

This is a implementation of our work "Advancing Video Anomaly Detection: A Concise Review and a New Dataset" (Accepted by 2024 NeurIPS Dataset and Benchmark Track). We provide code for benchmarking our new Multi-Scenario Video Anomaly Detection dataset.

We propose a new Multi-Scenario Anomaly Detection (MSAD) dataset, a high- resolution, real-world anomaly detection benchmark encompassing diverse scenarios and anomalies, both human and non-human-related. For more details and applying for our MSAD dataset, please refer to our project website: Project Website

Dataset Preparation

If you would like to access the original dataset in video format, please download and submit a request through our application form here.

We use this I3D_Feature_Extraction_resnet repo for extracting I3D features. We also offer extracted features (I3D and Video-Swin Transformer) available for all researchers. (Feature_Download Link)

Note that the Dataset is to be used solely for academic and research purposes. Commercial use, reproduction, distribution, or sale of the Dataset or any derivative works is strictly prohibited.

Benchmarking on MSAD Dataset

For benchmarking weakly-supervised methods on our MSAD dataset, we follow Evaluation Protocol ii as described in our paper. Training and testing file list can be found in feature_download link. We have also provide the pretrained checkpoints for several methods in the link.

We have designed two protocol in our work. This GitHub repo only supports Protocol ii.

Protocol ii: Train on 360 normal and 120 abnormal videos, and test on 120 normal and 120 abnormal videos. During training, we only provide video-level annotations. This protocol is suitable for evaluating weakly-supervised methods trained with our video-level annotations.

If you want to test the model, you can download our pre-trained model from here. Our MSAD dataset supports benchmarking with the following weakly-supervised methods:

• RTFM
• MGFN
• UR-DMU (TODO)

RTFM

An example for testing the model is shown below, you can modify arguments for different datasets (e.g. MSAD, UCF-Crime, ShanghaiTech, etc).

cd RTFM
python test.py --test-rgb-list 'list/msad-i3d-test.list' \
--gt './list/gt-MSAD-WS-new.npy' \
--testing-model './ckpt/rtfm-msad-i3dfinal.pkl' \
--dataset 'msad'

Here is an example for training the model:

python main.py --feat-extractor 'i3d'\ 
--feature-size 2048 --rgb-list 'list/msad-i3d.list' \
--test-rgb-list 'list/msad-i3d-test.list' --gt default='list/gt-MSAD-WS-new.npy' \
--dataset 'msad'2>&1| tee ./train_logs_i3d_msad.txt

MGFN

cd MGFN
python test.py --testing-model ./ckpt/mgfn-msad-i3d-84.96.pkl 

For training the model, just run the following code:

cd MGFN
python main.py 

You can check the relevant arguments in option.py and adjust them accordingly.
