Abstract

In the field of video anomaly detection, anomalous events often demonstrate temporal continuity and similarity. Existing unsupervised methods typically segment videos into multiple clips and randomly select subsets for training, disrupting the continuity of anomalous events and causing the loss of critical spatiotemporal information. Additionally, current Euclidean space-based methods encounter limitations in embedding space dimensionality, making it difficult to effectively capture the latent geometric hierarchy of video data. To address these issues, this paper introduces a novel unsupervised video anomaly detection method based on hyperbolic space. It designs a Spatiotemporal Feature Construction (STFC) module to extract temporal correlations and feature similarities among video segments, embedding these into Lorentz and Poincaré ball hyperbolic spaces to learn richer video representations that more effectively distinguish normal from abnormal events. Experiments show that this method achieves AUC scores of 93.26% and 77.55% on the Shanghai Tech and UCF-Crime datasets, respectively, outperforming existing unsupervised video anomaly detection methods. These results confirm the advantage of hyperbolic space in capturing the latent geometric hierarchy of video data and highlight its potential in enhancing anomaly detection capabilities.
