“…Anomaly detection in crowded scenes has been addressed in numerous ways using a variety of algorithms including classical machine learning schemes, for example, k-means and SVMs (Yang et al 2019), GMM, and so forth, as well as deep learning methods, for example, CNNs (Joshi and Patel 2021;Pang et al 2020;Wu et al 2020), LSTM (Esan, Owolawi, and Tu 2020), GANs (Luo, Liu, and Gao 2017a;Chen et al 2021), and autoencoders (AEs) (Simonyan and Zisserman 2014;Pawar and Attar 2021), bag-of-words (BOW) method, and physics-inspired approaches (Wu, Moore, and Shah 2010), and so forth. These methods are often inter-related and the exact taxonomy is difficult.…”
