Title: OVID: Open-Vocabulary Intrusion Detection
Primary area: applications to computer vision, audio, language, and other modalities
Keywords: Open-Vocabulary Intrusion Detection, Datasets, Framework, Strategy

Abstract: Various vision intrusion detection models have made great success in many scenarios, e.g., autonomous driving, intelligent monitoring, and security, etc. However, their reliance on pre-defined classes limits their applicability in open-world intrusion detection scenarios. To remedy these, we introduce the Open-Vocabulary Intrusion Detection (OVID) project for the first time. Specifically, we first develop a novel dataset, Cityintrusion-OpenV for OVID,  with more diverse intrusion categories and corresponding text prompts. Then, we design a multi-modal, multi-task, and end-to-end open-vocabulary intrusion detection framework named OVIDNet. It achieves open-world intrusion detection via aligning visual features with language embeddings. Further, two simple yet effective strategies are proposed to improve the generalization and performance of this specific task: (1) A Multi-Distributed Noise Mixing strategy is introduced to enhance location information of unknown and unseen categories. (2) A Dynamic Memory-Gated module is designed to capture the contextual information under complex scenarios. Finally, comprehensive experiments and comparisons are conducted on multiple dominant datasets, e.g., COCO, Cityscape, Foggy-Cityscape, and Cityintrusion-OpenV. Besides, we also evaluate the universal applicability of our model in real scenarios. The results show that our method can outperform other classic and promising methods, and reach strong performance even under task-specific transfer and zero-shot settings, demonstrating its high practicality. All the source codes and datasets will be released.
