Abnormal Crowd Behavior Detection Using Optimized Pyramidal Lucas-Kanade Technique

Abstract

Abnormal behavior detection is challenging and one of the growing research areas in computer vision. The main aim of this research work is to focus on panic and escape behavior detections that occur during unexpected/uncertain events. In this work, Pyramidal Lucas Kanade algorithm is optimized using EMEHOs to achieve the objective. First stage, OPLKT-EMEHOs algorithm is used to generate the optical flow from MIIs. Second stage, the MIIs optical flow is applied as input to 3 layer CNN for detect the abnormal crowd behavior. University of Minnesota (UMN) dataset is used to evaluate the proposed system. The experimental result shows that the proposed method provides better classification accuracy by comparing with the existing methods. Proposed method provides 95.78% of precision, 90.67% of recall, 93.09% of f-measure and accuracy with 91.67%.
