LGMD-based Neural Network for Detecting Abnormal Velocity Targets in Moving Crowd
Zhongxiang Zhao, Bin Hu · 2024
Detecting abnormal velocity targets is critical especially in public surveillance for crowd activity monitoring. Although there are some explorations on one such issue, traditional methods still perform poorly in complex scenes. In this paper, a novel visual neural network is investigated to perceive abnormal velocity targets in moving crowd, based on the latest neurophysiological achievements revealed in locusts’ vision systems. The proposed neural network contains two neural counterparts, i.e., the presynaptic and the postsynaptic networks. The former one receives visual signals and processes them to capture the motion cues of different targets, and the latter one filters the salience energies to perceive abnormal velocity targets in the field of view. Numerical experiments carried out show that the proposed neural network can effectively detect abnormal velocity targets in moving crowd. This study is an important step towards dynamic visual information processing in crowd behavior analysis.
