Uncovering What, Why and How: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Causation Understanding of Video Anomaly

The official repo for Uncovering What, Why and How: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Causation Understanding of Video Anomaly [CVPR2024].
This repository is still under maintenance. The code for the partial ablation experiment on A-Guardian is still being organized.

Introduction

We present a comprehensive benchmark for Causation Understanding of Video Anomaly (CUVA). We also introduce MMEval, a novel evaluation metric designed to better align with human preferences for CUVA. Then we propose a novel prompt-based method that can serve as a baseline approach for the challenging CUVA.

Get Start

git clone https://github.com/fesvhtr/CUVA.git
conda create -n cuva python=3.8
pip install -r requirements.txt
conda activate cuva

CUVA Benchmark

CUVA Dataset

Please complete the form to get the dataset URL.
There are 4 zip files and 1 json file in the dataset, unzip them and put them in the data folder.

Inference with Video-ChatGPT + A-Guardian

export PYTHONPATH="./:$PYTHONPATH"
cd /CUVA/Models/Video-ChatGPT/video_chatgpt/CUVA
./inference_CUVA.sh

Classic Evaluation

Refer to repo QA-Eval

git clone https://github.com/fesvhtr/QA-Eval
python eval.py

Evaluation with MMEval

export PYTHONPATH="./:$PYTHONPATH"
cd /CUVA/Models/Video-ChatGPT/video_chatgpt/CUVA
./mmEval_demo.sh

Multiple reasoning and evaluation

Modify and run CUVA.py and mmEval.py in the CUVA folder.
