Adaptive AI-driven deep neuro-fuzzy model and superpixel segmentation for complex anomaly detection


Abstract

Public safety and crowd control face major issues due to the world's expanding population, varied social relationships, and crowded urban environments. Such settings frequently make people feel uneasy, so strong surveillance systems are required to address safety issues. Traditional monitoring systems are ineffective for identifying anomalies in real time and require a lot of work and effort. A unique multi-stage architecture for automated monitoring and anomalous behavior identification is proposed in this paper to address these problems. After preprocessing and improving video frames using adaptive median filtering, superpixel-based segmentation is used to sharpen object boundaries and reduce background noise. A thorough feature extraction process is then carried out, using the following methods: dense optical flow for motion analysis, centroid-based radial shape descriptors for silhouettes, PCA-enhanced Gradient Location and Orientation Histogram (GLOH) for texture, and stochastic triangulated shape descriptors for structural geometry. While a neuro-fuzzy system is used to fuse and improve extracted features for dimensionality reduction and robust selection, Faster R-CNN is used for human and occlusion detection. To simulate geographical linkages and temporal dependencies for anomaly detection, a ConvLSTM network is shown. The suggested system exhibits robustness against complex motion patterns, fluctuating population densities, and occlusion. On the XD-Violence and UCF-Crime datasets, however, detection efficiencies of 88.05% and 94.34% are attained individually.

Notes for potential reviewers

  • Volunteering is not a guarantee that you will be asked to review. There are many reasons: reviewers must be qualified, there should be no conflicts of interest, a minimum of two reviewers have already accepted an invitation, etc.
  • This is NOT OPEN peer review. The review is single-blind, and all recommendations are sent privately to the Academic Editor handling the manuscript. All reviews are published and reviewers can choose to sign their reviews.
  • What happens after volunteering? It may be a few days before you receive an invitation to review with further instructions. You will need to accept the invitation to then become an official referee for the manuscript. If you do not receive an invitation it is for one of many possible reasons as noted above.

  • PeerJ Computer Science does not judge submissions based on subjective measures such as novelty, impact or degree of advance. Effectively, reviewers are asked to comment on whether or not the submission is scientifically and technically sound and therefore deserves to join the scientific literature. Our Peer Review criteria can be found on the "Editorial Criteria" page - reviewers are specifically asked to comment on 3 broad areas: "Basic Reporting", "Experimental Design" and "Validity of the Findings".
  • Reviewers are expected to comment in a timely, professional, and constructive manner.
  • Until the article is published, reviewers must regard all information relating to the submission as strictly confidential.
  • When submitting a review, reviewers are given the option to "sign" their review (i.e. to associate their name with their comments). Otherwise, all review comments remain anonymous.
  • All reviews of published articles are published. This includes manuscript files, peer review comments, author rebuttals and revised materials.
  • Each time a decision is made by the Academic Editor, each reviewer will receive a copy of the Decision Letter (which will include the comments of all reviewers).
