A New Approach for Abnormal Human Activities Recognition Based on ConvLSTM Architecture

Sensors (Basel). 2022 Apr 12;22(8):2946. doi: 10.3390/s22082946.

Abstract

Recognizing various abnormal human activities from video is very challenging. This problem is also greatly influenced by the lack of datasets containing various abnormal human activities. The available datasets contain various human activities, but only a few of them contain non-standard human behavior such as theft, harassment, etc. There are datasets such as KTH that focus on abnormal activities such as sudden behavioral changes, as well as on various changes in interpersonal interactions. The UCF-crime dataset contains categories such as fighting, abuse, explosions, robberies, etc. However, this dataset is very time consuming. The events in the videos occur in a few seconds. This may affect the overall results of the neural networks that are used to detect the incident. In this article, we create a dataset that deals with abnormal activities, containing categories such as Begging, Drunkenness, Fight, Harassment, Hijack, Knife Hazard, Normal Videos, Pollution, Property Damage, Robbery, and Terrorism. We use the created dataset for the training and testing of the ConvLSTM (convolutional long short-term memory) neural network, which we designed. However, we also test the created dataset using other architectures. We use ConvLSTM architectures and 3D Resnet50, 3D Resnet101, and 3D Resnet152. With the created dataset and the architecture we designed, we obtained an accuracy of classification of 96.19% and a precision of 96.50%.
