Spatiotemporal consistency-enhanced network for video anomaly detection

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a spatiotemporal consistency-enhanced network (STCEN) to highlight the disturbances of abnormal data from both spatial and temporal aspects. A 3D CNN-based discriminator is designed to measure the spatiotemporal consistency between the generated future frame and its former frames.

• A well-designed 3D-2D U-shape structure is introduced to extract motion and appearance fusion features from the input video clip, which focuses on extracting spatiotemporal high-level features and generating a rational future frame. Moreover, a resampling module is used to enlarge the score gaps between normal and abnormal contents for the video anomaly detection task.

• Extensive experiments on three datasets demonstrate the potential of our model with competitive performance compared with state-of-the-art approaches. We also provide discussions for these datasets, which could be useful for future works.
