Abnormal event detection based on appearance repair and motion consistency

Abstract

The application of abnormal event detection in video surveillance is an active research field, but due to the imbalance of positive and negative samples in surveillance video, abnormal event detection is full of challenges. In this paper, we propose a new abnormal event detection method based on appearance repair and motion consistency for detecting anomalous events. Specifically, the input image is partially masked and then fed into our proposed appearance repair autoencoder for image reconstruction, and then the motion consistency of images is constructed by our proposed optical flow network. The experimental results on the UCSD, CUHK Avenue datasets show the superiority of the detection performance of our method.
