Abstract

Weakly-supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) integrates CLIP to model anomalous foregrounds and background contexts in a single visual feature, but this setting ignored that object abnormality depends heavily on the surrounding environment. This paper proposed a context-aware object prior and semantic decoupling framework for WS-VAD. Large-scale vision-language models constructed in-domain vocabularies for environments and objects on the target dataset. The CLIP text encoder encoded them into environment-level and object-level semantic priors and injected them into temporal video features to reduce object bias. A semantic decoupling consistency constraint further guided a fine-grained visual-text alignment branch. This constraint encouraged object semantics to explain anomalous events and encouraged background regions to remain consistent with environment semantics, which reduced scene bias. Experiments on UCF-Crime and XD-Violence show that the proposed method improves AUC and AP by 1.19% and 1.62%, respectively, and achieves better detection and localization than recent WS-VAD methods.
