Abstract
Surveillance cameras have been increasingly used in many public and private spaces in recent years to increase the security of those areas. Although many companies still recruit someone to monitor the cameras, the person recruited is more likely to miss some abnormal events in the camera feeds due to human error. Therefore, monitoring surveillance cameras could be a waste of time and energy. On the other hand, many researchers worked on surveillance data and proposed several methods to detect abnormal events automatically. As a result, if any anomalous happens in front of the surveillance cameras, it can be detected immediately. Therefore, we introduced a model for detecting abnormal events in the surveillance camera feed. In this work, we designed a model by implementing a well-known convolutional neural network (ResNet50) for extracting essential features of each frame of our input stream followed by a particular schema of recurrent neural networks (ConvLSTM) for detecting abnormal events in our time-series dataset. Furthermore, in contrast with previous works, which mainly focused on hand-crafted datasets, our dataset took real-time surveillance camera feeds with different subjects and environments. In addition, we classify normal and abnormal events and show the method’s ability to find the right category for each anomaly. Therefore, we categorized our data into three main and essential categories: the first groups mainly need firefighting service, while the second and third categories are about thefts and violent behaviour. We implemented the proposed method on the UCF-Crime dataset and achieved 81.71% in AUC, higher than other models like C3D on the same dataset. Our future work focuses on adding an attention layer to the existing model to detect more abnormal events.

Accepted: 13 January 2022With the many emerging challenges in public management, security, and safety, there is an increasing need for monitoring public scenes through surveillance cameras
Here, we focus on the UCF-Crime dataset [27], including much abnormal, illegal, and violent behaviour captured by surveillance cameras in public places, which can lead to severe problems for individuals and a society population
One of the most common Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) used for feature extraction in deep learning methods is Residual Neural Network (ResNet)
Summary
With the many emerging challenges in public management, security, and safety, there is an increasing need for monitoring public scenes through surveillance cameras. Detection in surveillance cameras is a challenging task that might face several problems: (1) abnormal events rarely happen; it is hard to find massive datasets of such events. This lack of samples might lead to some difficulties in the learning process. An anomaly detection problem is generally considered as an unsupervised learning problem [19] This technique deal with unlabeled data in which it is assumed that Normal events frequently occur while Abnormal events rarely happen in data.
