Abstract The surveillance applications generate enormous video data and present challenges to video analysis for huge human labor cost. Reconstruction-based convolutional autoencoders have achieved great success in video anomaly detection for their ability of automatically detecting abnormal event. The approaches learn normal patterns only with the normal data in an unsupervised way due to the difficulty of collecting anomaly samples and obtaining anomaly annotations. But convolutional autoencoders have limitations in global feature extraction for the local receptive field of convolutional kernels. What is more, 2-dimensional convolution lacks the capability of capturing temporal information while videos change over time. In this paper,… More >

Abstract Video anomaly detection is essential to distinguish abnormal events in large volumes of surveillance video and can benefit many fields such as traffic management, public security and failure detection. However, traditional video anomaly detection methods are unable to accurately detect and locate abnormal events in real scenarios, while existing deep learning methods are likely to omit important information when extracting features. In order to avoid omitting important features and improve the accuracy of abnormal event detection and localization, this paper proposes a novel method called Multi Chunk Learning based Skip Connected Convolutional Auto Encoder (MCSCAE). The proposed method improves the… More >

Abstract Anomaly detection in surveillance videos is an extremely challenging task due to the ambiguous definitions for abnormality. In a complex surveillance scenario, the kinds of abnormal events are numerous and might co-exist, including such as appearance and motion anomaly of objects, long-term abnormal activities, etc. Traditional video anomaly detection methods cannot detect all these kinds of abnormal events. Hence, we utilize multiple probabilistic models inference to detect as many different kinds of abnormal events as possible. To depict realistic events in a scene, the parameters of our methods are tailored to the characteristics of video sequences of practical surveillance scenarios.… More >
