Lorad: lightweight causal pose flow for online real-time video anomaly detection
摘要
Video anomaly detection (VAD) is a critical application of online evolutive learning for real-time image processing. Although Skeleton-based normalizing flow models have recently achieved superior performance by modeling the distribution of normal human poses and flagging deviations as anomalies, their practical deployment is hindered by the heavy computational burden of large pose estimators and the non-causal temporal convolutions that require future frames for inference. In this regard, we propose Lightweight Online Real-time Anomaly Detection (LORAD) for continuous VAD on resource-constrained devices, which addresses the heavy computational burden of pose estimators, and the non-causal temporal processing that precludes genuine streaming inference. Specifically, the conventional AlphaPose backbone is replaced by a compact MobileNetV3-based encoder with 1.27 M parameters (65
