Suspicious Activity Recognition Using Proposed Deep L4-Branched-Actionnet with Entropy Coded Ant Colony System Optimization

Abstract

Intelligent visual surveillance systems are attracting much attention from research and industry. The invention of smart surveillance cameras with greater processing power has now been the leading stakeholder, making it conceivable to design intelligent visual surveillance systems. It is possible to assure the safety of people in both homes and public places. This work aims to distinguish the suspicious activities for surveillance environments. For this, a 63 layers deep CNN model is suggested and named 'L4-Branched-ActionNet'. The suggested CNN structure is centered on the alteration of AlexNet with added four blanched sub-structures. The developed framework is first transformed into a pre-trained framework by conducting its training on an object detection dataset called CIFAR-100 with the SoftMax function. The dataset for suspicious activity recognition is then forwarded to this pretrained model for feature acquisition. The acquired deep features are subjected to feature subset optimization. These extracted features are first coded by applying entropy and then an ant colony system (ACS) is utilized on the entropy-based coded features for optimization. The configured features are then fed into numerous SVM and KNN based classification models. The cubic SVM has the highest efficiency scores, with a performance of 0.9924 in order of accuracy. The proposed model is also validated on the Weizmann action dataset and attained an accuracy of 0.9796. The successful findings indicate the suggested work's soundness.
