For analyzing the traffic anomaly within dashcam videos from the perspective of ego-vehicles, the agent should spatial-temporally localize the abnormal occasion and regions and give a semantically recounting of what happened. Most existing formulations concentrate on the former spatial-temporal aspect and mainly approach this goal by training normal pattern classifiers/regressors/dictionaries with large-scale availably labeled data. However, anomalies are context-related, and it is difficult to distinguish the margin of abnormal and normal clearly. This paper proposes a progressive unsupervised driving anomaly detection and recounting (D&R) framework. The highlights are three-fold: (1) We formulate driving anomaly D&R as a temporal-spatial-semantic (TSS) model, which achieves a coarse-to-fine focusing and generates convincing driving anomaly D&R. (2) This work contributes an unsupervised D&R without any training data while performing an effective performance. (3) We novelly introduce the traffic saliency, isolation forest, visual semantic causal relations of driving scene to effectively construct the TSS model. Extensive experiments on a driving anomaly dataset with 106 video clips (temporal-spatial-semantically labeled carefully by ourselves) demonstrate superior performance over existing techniques.

Vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) has become a popular research topic owing to its practicability in intelligent transportation systems. Vehicle Re-ID suffers the numerous challenges caused by drastic variation in illumination, occlusions, background, resolutions, viewing angles, and so on. To address it, this paper formulates a multi-order deep cross-distance learning (\textbf{DCDLearn}) model for vehicle re-identification, where an efficient one-view CycleGAN model is developed to alleviate exhaustive and enumerative cross-camera matching problem in previous works and smooth the domain discrepancy of cross cameras. Specially, we treat the transferred images and the reconstructed images generated by one-view CycleGAN as multi-order augmented data for deep cross-distance learning, where the cross distances of multi-order image set with distinct identities are learned by optimizing an objective function with multi-order augmented triplet loss and center loss to achieve the camera-invariance and identity-consistency. Extensive experiments on three vehicle Re-ID datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvement over the state-of-the-arts, especially for the small scale dataset.
