A Survey of Deep Learning Solutions for Anomaly Detection in Surveillance Videos
Deep learning has proven to be a landmark computing approach to the computer vision domain. Hence, it has been widely applied to solve complex cognitive tasks like the detection of anomalies in surveillance videos. Anomaly detection in this case is the identification of abnormal events in the surveillance videos which can be deemed as security incidents or threats. Deep learning solutions for anomaly detection has outperformed other traditional machine learning solutions. This review attempts to provide holistic benchmarking of the published deep learning solutions for videos anomaly detection since 2016. The paper identifies, the learning technique, datasets used and the overall model accuracy. Reviewed papers were organised into five deep learning methods namely; autoencoders, continual learning, transfer learning, reinforcement learning and ensemble learning. Current and emerging trends are discussed as well
Uninformed Students: Student-Teacher Anomaly Detection with Discriminative Latent Embeddings
We introduce a powerful student-teacher framework for the challenging problem
of unsupervised anomaly detection and pixel-precise anomaly segmentation in
high-resolution images. Student networks are trained to regress the output of a
descriptive teacher network that was pretrained on a large dataset of patches
from natural images. This circumvents the need for prior data annotation.
Anomalies are detected when the outputs of the student networks differ from
that of the teacher network. This happens when they fail to generalize outside
the manifold of anomaly-free training data. The intrinsic uncertainty in the
student networks is used as an additional scoring function that indicates
anomalies. We compare our method to a large number of existing deep learning
based methods for unsupervised anomaly detection. Our experiments demonstrate
improvements over state-of-the-art methods on a number of real-world datasets,
including the recently introduced MVTec Anomaly Detection dataset that was
specifically designed to benchmark anomaly segmentation algorithms.Comment: Accepted to CVPR 202
Deep Learning for Crowd Anomaly Detection
Today, public areas across the globe are monitored by an increasing amount of surveillance cameras. This widespread usage has presented an ever-growing volume of data that cannot realistically be examined in real-time. Therefore, efforts to understand crowd dynamics have brought light to automatic systems for the detection of anomalies in crowds. This thesis explores the methods used across literature for this purpose, with a focus on those fusing dense optical flow in a feature extraction stage to the crowd anomaly detection problem. To this extent, five different deep learning architectures are trained using optical flow maps estimated by three deep learning-based techniques. More specifically, a 2D convolutional network, a 3D convolutional network, and LSTM-based convolutional recurrent network, a pre-trained variant of the latter, and a ConvLSTM-based autoencoder is trained using both regular frames and optical flow maps estimated by LiteFlowNet3, RAFT, and GMA on the UCSD Pedestrian 1 dataset. The experimental results have shown that while prone to overfitting, the use of optical flow maps may improve the performance of supervised spatio-temporal architectures
