Vision transformer embedded video anomaly detection using attention driven recurrence by Ummay Maria Muna, Shanta Biswas, Syed Abu Ammar Muhammad Zarif, Philip Jefferson Deori, Tauseef Tajwar, Swakkhar Shatabda

“…In this paper, we propose a novel framework for detecting anomalies in videos by uniquely analyzing spatial and temporal (spatio-temporal) features. We address challenges such as the processing of lengthy videos and the sparse occurrence of anomalies by segmenting and labeling anomalous parts within videos. …”

Beyond Linearity: Uncovering the Complex Spatiotemporal Drivers of New-Type Urbanization and Eco-Environmental Resilience Coupling in China’s Chengdu–Chongqing Economic Circle with... by Caoxin Chen, Shiyi Wang, Meixi Liu, Ke Huang, Qiuyi Guo, Wei Xie, Jiangjun Wan

“…The results reveal the following: (1) NTU and EER levels steadily improved from 2004 to 2022, although coordination between cities still requires enhancement; (2) CCD exhibited a temporal pattern of “progressive escalation and continuous optimization,” and a spatial pattern of “dual-core leadership and regional diffusion,” with most cities shifting from NTU-lagged to synchronized development; (3) environmental regulations (MAR) and fixed asset investment (FIX) emerged as the most influential CCD drivers, and significant nonlinear interactions were observed, particularly those involving population size (HUM); (4) CCD drivers exhibited complex spatiotemporal heterogeneity, characterized by “stage dominance—marginal variation—spatial mismatch.” …”

Evaluation of High-Resolution Satellite-Based Real-Time and Post-Real-Time Precipitation Estimates during 2010 Extreme Flood Event in Swat River Basin, Hindukush Region by Muhammad Naveed Anjum, Yongjian Ding, Donghui Shangguan, Muhammad Wajid Ijaz, Shiqiang Zhang

“…Observations of 15 rain gauging stations were used for the evaluation of TMPA products. Results showed that the spatial pattern of precipitation in the event was generally captured by post-real-time product (3B42V7) but misplaced by real-time product (3B42RT), witnessed by a high spatial correlation coefficient for 3B42V7 (CC = 0.87) and low spatial correlation coefficient for 3B42RT (CC = 0.20). …”
