Video Abnormal Behavior Detection Based on Optical Flow Method and Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm for abnormal behavior detection in surveillance video. Firstly, the motion information image of each frame is constructed by calculating the optical flow size and the angle difference between the optical flow vectors between consecutive frames, and then the obtained motion image information is input into the convolutional neural network (CNN) for training, and used for video abnormal behavior detection. In the algorithm, the motion information image generated based on optical flow information can provide the motion information features in the video image more accurately, which makes it easier to distinguish the normal behavior and abnormal behavior of the video. The experiment of this algorithm is carried out on the commonly used data set PETS 2009. Experimental results show that the proposed method and other algorithms have a significant improvement in the accuracy of abnormal behavior detection.
