Abnormal Crowd Behavior Detection Based on the Entropy of Optical Flow

To improve the detection accuracy and robustness of crowd anomaly detection,especially crowd emergency evacuation detection,the abnormal crowd behavior detection method is proposed.This method is based on the improved statistical global optical flow entropy which can better describe the degree of chaos of crowd.First,the optical flow field is extracted from the video sequences and a 2D optical flow histogram is gained.Then,the improved optical flow entropy,combining information theory with statistical physics is calculated from 2D optical flow histograms.Finally,the anomaly can be detected according to the abnormality judgment formula.The experimental results show that the detection accuracy achieved over 95%in three public video datasets,which indicates that the proposed algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Automatic Anomaly Monitoring in Public Surveillance Areas

With the dramatic increase in video surveillance applications and public safety measures,the need for an accurate and effective system for abnormal/sus-picious activity classification also increases.Although it has multiple applications,the problem is very challenging.In this paper,a novel approach for detecting nor-mal/abnormal activity has been proposed.We used the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)and Kalmanfilter to detect and track the objects,respectively.After that,we performed shadow removal to segment an object and its shadow.After object segmentation we performed occlusion detection method to detect occlusion between multiple human silhouettes and we implemented a novel method for region shrinking to isolate occluded humans.Fuzzy c-mean is utilized to verify human silhouettes and motion based features including velocity and opticalflow are extracted for each identified silhouettes.Gray Wolf Optimizer(GWO)is used to optimize feature set followed by abnormal event classification that is performed using the XG-Boost classifier.This system is applicable in any surveillance appli-cation used for event detection or anomaly detection.Performance of proposed system is evaluated using University of Minnesota(UMN)dataset and UBI(Uni-versity of Beira Interior)-Fight dataset,each having different type of anomaly.The mean accuracy for the UMN and UBI-Fight datasets is 90.14%and 76.9%respec-tively.These results are more accurate as compared to other existing methods.

An Adaptive Classifier Based Approach for Crowd Anomaly Detection

Crowd Anomaly Detection has become a challenge in intelligent video surveillance system and security.Intelligent video surveillance systems make extensive use of data mining,machine learning and deep learning methods.In this paper a novel approach is proposed to identify abnormal occurrences in crowded situations using deep learning.In this approach,Adaptive GoogleNet Neural Network Classifier with Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm are applied to predict the abnormal video frames in the crowded scenes.We use multiple instance learning(MIL)to dynamically develop a deep anomalous ranking framework.This technique predicts higher anomalous values for abnormal video frames by treating regular and irregular video bags and video sections.We use the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm to optimize the entire process and get the best results.The performance parameters such as accuracy,precision,recall,and F-score are considered to evaluate the proposed technique using the Python simulation tool.Our simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional methods on the public live video dataset.
