SphereVAD performs training-free video anomaly detection by recasting anomaly discrimination as von Mises-Fisher likelihood-ratio geodesic inference on the unit hypersphere using intermediate MLLM features, with Frechet mean centering, holistic scene attention, and spherical geodesic pulling.
This removes connections between visually dissimilar clips (e.g., different camera angles or scene transitions within the same video)
