Summary: | Surveillance systems regularly create massive video data in the modern technological era, making their analysis challenging for security specialists. Finding anomalous activities manually in these enormous video recordings is a tedious task, as they infrequently occur in the real world. We proposed a minimal complex deep learning-based model named EADN for anomaly detection that can operate in a surveillance system. At the model’s input, the video is segmented into salient shots using a shot boundary detection algorithm. Next, the selected sequence of frames is given to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that consists of time-distributed 2D layers for extracting salient spatiotemporal features. The extracted features are enriched with valuable information that is very helpful in capturing abnormal events. Lastly, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells are employed to learn spatiotemporal features from a sequence of frames per sample of each abnormal event for anomaly detection. Comprehensive experiments are performed on benchmark datasets. Additionally, the quantitative results are compared with state-of-the-art methods, and a substantial improvement is achieved, showing our model’s effectiveness.
