Focus or Not: A Baseline for Anomaly Event Detection On the Open Public Places with Satellite Images

In recent years, monitoring the world wide area with satellite images has been emerged as an important issue. Site monitoring task can be divided into two independent tasks; 1) Change Detection and 2) Anomaly Event Detection. Unlike to change detection research is actively conducted based on the numerous datasets(eg LEVIR-CD, WHU-CD, S2Looking, xView2 and etc...) to meet up the expectations of industries or governments, research on AI models for detecting anomaly events is passively and rarely conducted. In this paper, we introduce a novel satellite imagery dataset(AED-RS) for detecting anomaly events on the open public places. AED-RS Dataset contains satellite images of normal and abnormal situations of 8 open public places from all over the world. Each places are labeled with different criteria based on the difference of characteristics of each places. With this dataset, we introduce a baseline model for our dataset TB-FLOW, which can be trained in weakly-supervised manner and shows reasonable performance on the AED-RS Dataset compared with the other NF(Normalizing-Flow) based anomaly detection models. Our dataset and code will be publicly open in urlhttps://github.com/SIAnalytics/RSAnomalyDetection.git.
