A Three-Stage Anomaly Detection Framework for Traffic Videos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As reported by the United Nations in 2021, road accidents cause 1.3 million deaths and 50 million injuries worldwide each year. Detecting traffic anomalies timely and taking immediate emergency response and rescue measures are essential to reduce casualties, economic losses, and traffic congestion. This paper proposed a three-stage method for video-based traffic anomaly detection. In the first stage, the ViVit network is employed as a feature extractor to capture the spatiotemporal features from the input video. In the second stage, the class and patch tokens are fed separately to the segment-level and video-level traffic anomaly detectors. In the third stage, we finished the construction of the entire composite traffic anomaly detection framework by fusing outputs of two traffic anomaly detectors above with different granularity. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the SOTA method with 2.07% AUC on the TAD testing overall set and 1.43% AUC on the TAD testing anomaly subset. This work provides a new reference for traffic anomaly detection research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
