Smart Surveillance System for Anomaly Recognition

Abstract

Situation awareness is the key to security. Surveillance systems are installed in all places where security is very important. Manually observing all the surveillance footage captured is a monotonous and time consuming task. Security can be defined in different terms in different conditions like violence detection, theft identification, detecting harmful activities etc. In crowded public places the term security covers almost all type of unusual events. To eliminate the tedious manual surveillance we have developed a smart surveillance which will detect an anomaly and alert the user and authority without any human interference. It is a very critical issue in a smart surveillance system to instantly detect an anomalous behaviour in video surveillance system. In this project, a unified framework based on deep neural network framework is proposed to detect anomalous activities. This neural network framework consists of (a) an object detection module, (b) an object discriminator and tracking module, (c) an anomalous activity detection module based on recurrent neural network. The system is a web application where user can apply for three different security services namely motion detection, fall detection and anomaly detection which is applicable for monitoring different environment like homes, roads, offices, schools, shops, etc. On detection of anomalous activity the system will notify the user and responsible authority regarding the anomaly through mail with an anomaly detected frame attachment.
