Video Anomaly Detection for Smart Surveillance

원문 초록

In modern intelligent video surveillance systems, automatic anomaly detection through computer vision analytics plays a pivotal role which not only significantly increases monitoring efficiency but also reduces the burden on live monitoring. Anomalies in videos are broadly defined as events or activities that are unusual and signify irregular behavior. The goal of anomaly detection is to temporally or spatially localize the anomaly events in video sequences. Temporal localization (i.e. indicating the start and end frames of the anomaly event in a video) is referred to as frame-level detection. Spatial localization, which is more challenging, means to identify the pixels within each anomaly frame that correspond to the anomaly event. This setting is usually referred to as pixel-level detection. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the recent research progress on video anomaly detection and highlight a few future research directions.
