Deep learning-based anomalous object detection system for panoramic cameras managed by a Jetson TX2 board

Abstract

Social conflicts appearing in the media are increas ing public awareness about security issues, resulting in a higher demand of more exhaustive environment monitoring methods. Automatic video surveillance systems are a powerful assistance to public and private security agents. Since the arrival of deep learn ing, object detection and classification systems have experienced a large improvement in both accuracy and versatility. However, deep learning-based object detection and classification systems often require expensive GPU-based hardware to work properly. This paper presents a novel deep learning-based foreground anomalous object detection system for video streams supplied by panoramic cameras, specially designed to build power efficient video surveillance systems. The system optimises the process of searching for anomalous objects through a new potential detection generator managed by three different multivariant homoscedastic distributions. Experimental results obtained after its deployment in a Jetson TX2 board attest the good performance of the system, postulating it as a solvent approach to power saving video surveillance systems.
