Spatio-temporal Video Parsing for Abnormality Detection
Abnormality detection in video poses particular challenges due to the
infinite size of the class of all irregular objects and behaviors. Thus no (or
by far not enough) abnormal training samples are available and we need to find
abnormalities in test data without actually knowing what they are.
Nevertheless, the prevailing concept of the field is to directly search for
individual abnormal local patches or image regions independent of another. To
address this problem, we propose a method for joint detection of abnormalities
in videos by spatio-temporal video parsing. The goal of video parsing is to
find a set of indispensable normal spatio-temporal object hypotheses that
jointly explain all the foreground of a video, while, at the same time, being
supported by normal training samples. Consequently, we avoid a direct detection
of abnormalities and discover them indirectly as those hypotheses which are
needed for covering the foreground without finding an explanation for
themselves by normal samples. Abnormalities are localized by MAP inference in a
graphical model and we solve it efficiently by formulating it as a convex
optimization problem. We experimentally evaluate our approach on several
challenging benchmark sets, improving over the state-of-the-art on all standard
benchmarks both in terms of abnormality classification and localization.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, 3 table
Learning Deep Representations of Appearance and Motion for Anomalous Event Detection
We present a novel unsupervised deep learning framework for anomalous event
detection in complex video scenes. While most existing works merely use
hand-crafted appearance and motion features, we propose Appearance and Motion
DeepNet (AMDN) which utilizes deep neural networks to automatically learn
feature representations. To exploit the complementary information of both
appearance and motion patterns, we introduce a novel double fusion framework,
combining both the benefits of traditional early fusion and late fusion
strategies. Specifically, stacked denoising autoencoders are proposed to
separately learn both appearance and motion features as well as a joint
representation (early fusion). Based on the learned representations, multiple
one-class SVM models are used to predict the anomaly scores of each input,
which are then integrated with a late fusion strategy for final anomaly
detection. We evaluate the proposed method on two publicly available video
surveillance datasets, showing competitive performance with respect to state of
the art approaches.Comment: Oral paper in BMVC 201
LCrowdV: Generating Labeled Videos for Simulation-based Crowd Behavior Learning
We present a novel procedural framework to generate an arbitrary number of
labeled crowd videos (LCrowdV). The resulting crowd video datasets are used to
design accurate algorithms or training models for crowded scene understanding.
Our overall approach is composed of two components: a procedural simulation
framework for generating crowd movements and behaviors, and a procedural
rendering framework to generate different videos or images. Each video or image
is automatically labeled based on the environment, number of pedestrians,
density, behavior, flow, lighting conditions, viewpoint, noise, etc.
Furthermore, we can increase the realism by combining synthetically-generated
behaviors with real-world background videos. We demonstrate the benefits of
LCrowdV over prior lableled crowd datasets by improving the accuracy of
pedestrian detection and crowd behavior classification algorithms. LCrowdV
