“…Due its applicability in video surveillance, anomaly detection is an actively studied topic in the video domain, with many recent attempts trying to solve the problem by employing various approaches ranging from outlier detection * corresponding author: raducu.ionescu@gmail.com models [2,8,9,11,15,21,29,32,35,37,40,43,45,47,48,52,54,55,56,58,59,61,64,69,75,78,87,85,86] and weakly-supervised learning frameworks [16,53,67,70,83,88] to supervised open-set methods [1]. Despite the numerous attempts in solving the problem, video anomaly detection remains a challenging task, especially due to the fact that abnormal events are determined by the context.…”
