Autonomous Anomaly Detection System for Crime Monitoring
Muhammed Shuaau, Ka Fei Thang · Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience · 2019
Autonomous anomaly detection has attracted significant amount of attention in the past decade due to increased security concerns all around the world. The volume of data reported by surveillance cameras has outrun human capacity and there exists a greater need for anomaly detection systems for crime monitoring. This project proposes a solution to this problem in a reception area context by using trajectory analysis. Trajectory extraction is proposed by using Gaussian Mixture Models and Kalman Filter for data association. Then trajectory analysis is performed on extracted trajectories to detect four different anomalies which are entering staff area, running, loitering and squatting down. The proposed anomaly detection method is tested on datasets recorded at Asia Pacific University’s reception area. The proposed algorithms were able to achieve a detection accuracy of 89% and a false positive rate of 4.52%. The results presented show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
