Abstract

Abnormal or violent behavior by people with mental disorders is common. When individuals with mental disorders exhibit abnormal behavior in public places, they may cause physical and mental harm to others as well as to themselves. Thus, it is necessary to monitor their behavior using visual surveillance systems. However, it is challenging to automatically detect human abnormal behavior (especially for individuals with mental disorders) based on motion recognition technologies. To address these issues, in the current work, we propose an end-to-end abnormal behaviour detection framework from a new perspective in conjunction with the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN). Specifically, we first train a one-class classifier to extract features and estimate abnormality scores. To improve the performance of abnormal behavior detection, GCN is used to model the similarity between video clips for the correction of noisy labels. Then, based on this framework, GCN recognizes the normal behavior clips in the abnormal video and removes them, while the clips identified as abnormal behavior are retained. Finally, a 3D CNN is used to extract spatiotemporal features to classify different abnormal behaviors. In order to better detect the violent behavior of individuals with mental disorders, the paper focuses on the UCF-Crime dataset with various types of violent behaviors. By experimenting with this dataset, the classification accuracy reaches 37.9%, which is significantly better than that of the current state-of-the-art approaches.
