Hybrid CNN–SRU/LSTM with multiple instance learning for real-time video anomaly detection in surveillance
摘要
Surveillance systems generate large volumes of video data, making fast and reliable anomaly detection essential for public-safety and smart-city applications. Existing video anomaly detection (VAD) methods often struggle with imbalanced anomaly occurrence, domain shifts, noise interference, and deployment inefficiency. This paper proposes a hybrid CNN–SRU-LSTM–MIL framework that integrates spatio–temporal CNN features, an annealed top-k MIL ranking loss, efficient SRU-based temporal modeling, and LSTM reconstruction to enhance accuracy, robustness, and runtime performance. To support real-world deployment, we incorporate pruning, quantization, knowledge distillation, and corruption-aware preprocessing. Experiments on UCF-Crime, CUHK Avenue, ShanghaiTech, UMN, and a real-world traffic dataset show consistent improvements, including
