Squirrel search method for deep learning-based anomaly identification in videos

The monitoring of human behavior and traffic surveillance in various locations has become increasingly important in recent years. However, identifying abnormal activity in real-world settings is a challenging task due to the many different types of worrisome and abnormal actions, including theft, violence, and accidents. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new framework for deep learning-based anomaly identification in videos using the squirrel search algorithm and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). The proposed method combines the squirrel search algorithm, an optimization technique inspired by nature, with BiLSTM for anomaly recognition. The framework uses the knowledge gained from a sequence of frames to categorize the video as either typical or abnormal. The proposed method was exhaustively tested in several benchmark datasets for anomaly detection to confirm its functionality in challenging surveillance circumstances. The results show that the proposed framework outperforms existing methods in terms of area under curve (AUC) values, with a test set AUC score of 93.1%. The paper also discusses the importance of feature selection and the benefits of using BiLSTM over traditional unidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) models for anomaly detection in videos. Overall, the proposed framework provides a highly precise computerization of the system, making it an effective tool for identifying abnormal human behavior in surveillance footage.
