Abstract
Suspicious activity detection is one of the most rapidly developing areas of Computer
Vision and Artificial Intelligence. Computer vision is used extensively in abnormal
detection and monitoring to solve a variety of problems. Because of the growing demand
for the protection of personal safety, security, and property, the need for and deployment
of video surveillance systems capable of recognizing and interpreting scene and anomaly
events is critical in intelligence monitoring. Because, as we all know, prevention is
preferable to cure, preventing a crime before it occurs is preferable to investigating what
or how the crime occurred. In the same way that vaccinations are given to people to
prevent disease, it has become necessary in today's world with a much higher rate of
crime to have a Crime detection technique that prevents crime happenings.
Security surveillance is a critical requirement in many places, including airports, train
stations, shopping malls, and public places, where detecting suspicious and abnormal
behavior has a significant impact on ensuring security. Despite the availability of CCTV
(closed-circuit television) cameras in many locations, CCTV footage is used as an
investigation tool to identify suspects. These Detection techniques can be used by police
officers to detect crimes before they occur, allowing them to be prevented.
This is accomplished by turning a video into frames and then evaluating the activity of
individuals within those frames. Human detection has long been a difficult challenge
due to the non-rigid nature of human bodies, which alter shape at will. Human
recognition and detection in both the interior and outdoor environments is a difficult task
due to a variety of issues such as inadequate illumination, variations instances, and so
on.
This study introduces a new approach to detecting human behaviors based on context
and situation. We devised a three-stage procedure for analyzing abnormal situations and
detecting suspicious behavior. We introduced methods for human detection with
associated context objects in the first stage. To identify normal situations, the identified
human objects were mapped with context information. Stage two created a model for
recognizing human actions, which includes both normal and abnormal actions. In stage
three, we developed a conventional model, to represent the normal situation of a given
context. We combined the identified human actions with their context and compare them with the conventional model. Deviation from the conventional model is used to
recognize the abnormal actions along with their underlying situations.
To build our system, we used an unsupervised approach. We used publicly available
datasets for the evaluation, and our abnormal situation detection approach performed
better. When compared to the baseline systems, the results of the unsupervised approach
are encouraging. This system will be useful for detecting abnormal and suspicious
human behaviors in real-time, allowing people to be monitored
