Abstract:Deploying Vision-Language Models for video anomaly detection confronts a fundamental constraint. Their semantic reasoning demands computational budgets incompatible with the scale of real-world video streams. We present Signal-Aware Adaptive Fusion (SAAF), a framework that achieves efficient zero-shot anomaly detection through three key innovations. First, we introduce a dual-signal adaptive sampler operating in semantic embedding space: a delta signal captures sudden events via frame-to-frame cosine distance, while a drift signal detects static and gradual anomalies through deviation from rolling temporal context. Their OR-gated combination with adaptive EMA-based thresholding provides comprehensive anomaly coverage without training data. Second, we propose a threshold-gated cascaded architecture where lightweight frame-level scoring precedes expensive video-level temporal analysis, invoking it only when confidence warrants additional context. Third, we design a signal-aware weighted fusion mechanism that dynamically adapts score combination based on which signal triggered frame selection. Across four benchmarks, SAAF delivers competitive accuracy at substantially lower cost. Among training-free zero-shot methods, SAAF sets a new state of the art on XD-Violence (92.07%), MSAD (86.70%), and ShanghaiTech (80.54%) AUC-ROC, with XD-Violence and MSAD also surpassing supervised baselines. SAAF sustains 44.95, 48.61, and 41.06 FPS on XD-Violence, UCF-Crime, and MSAD, a 2.43$\times$, 2.63$\times$, and 2.22$\times$ throughput improvement over the prior best zero-shot method.
