This $359,324 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop advanced video anomaly anticipation technologies. The research team at Santa Clara University will create a framework to semi-automatically capture and annotate real-world anomaly anticipation datasets, design real-time AI models to accurately predict motion-based anomalies before they occur, and develop visual AI models to provide stakeholders with clear explanations of anticipated anomalies. As a case study, the proposed methods will be applied to traffic anomaly anticipation, demonstrating the practical utility of the research. The project will also integrate research and education by incorporating in-class assignments and organizing annual student competitions. The expected outcomes include a new paradigm for training explainable anomaly detection models and expanding the capabilities of video-based anomaly anticipation and prevention systems.
