Abstract
Detecting anomalies in videos is a fundamental issue in public security. The majority of existing deep learning methods often perform anomaly detection based on the behavior or the trajectory of a single target. However, due to the overlaps of the crowd and the low-resolution of monitoring images, the segmentation of population is hard to implement and the features cannot be learned thoroughly, which make the methods be easily disturbed by visual elements and thus may lead to false detection sometimes. To tackle these problems, we propose the influence-aware attention to learn the representative attributes of the whole crowd. Walking pedestrians can be divided into numbers of flows, and in this paper, we aim to measure the consistency of movement patterns in the same stream and the interactions between different streams. Meanwhile, great importance is given to the relation between pedestrians and the circumstance for certain anomalies occur as a result of environmental issues. Specifically, the influence-aware attention module is composed of the motion attention and the location attention, which is designed to quantify the relations in the scene from spatial and temporal aspects. For the lack of abnormal samples, we utilize a dual generator-based framework to learn interactions among normal scenes. Experimental results on six benchmarks verify the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method.
