ComplexVAD Video Anomaly Detection Dataset

Introduction

The ComplexVAD dataset consists of 104 training and 113 testing video sequences taken from a static camera looking at a scene of a two-lane street with sidewalks on either side of the street and another sidewalk going across the street at a crosswalk.  The videos were collected over a period of a few months on the campus of the University of South Florida using a camcorder with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution.  Videos were collected at various times during the day and on each day of the week.  Videos vary in duration with most being about 12 minutes long.  The total duration of all training and testing videos is a little over 34 hours.  The scene includes cars, buses and golf carts driving in two directions on the street, pedestrians walking and jogging on the sidewalks and crossing the street, people on scooters, skateboards and bicycles on the street and sidewalks, and cars moving in the parking lot in the background.  Branches of a tree also move at the top of many frames.

The 113 testing videos have a total of 118 anomalous events consisting of 40 different anomaly types.

Ground truth annotations are provided for each testing video in the form of bounding boxes around each anomalous event in each frame. Each bounding box is also labeled with a track number, meaning each anomalous event is labeled as a track of bounding boxes.  A single frame can have more than one anomaly labeled.

At a Glance

• The size of the unzipped dataset is ~39GB
• The dataset consists of Train sequences (containing only videos with normal activity), Test sequences (containing some anomalous activity), a ground truth annotation file for each Test sequence, and a README.md file describing the data organization and ground truth annotation format.
• The zip files contain a Train directory, a Test directory, an annotations directory, and a README.md file.
