Video abnormal event detection is a challenging problem in pattern recognition field. Existing methods usually design the two steps of video feature extraction and anomaly detection model establishment independently, which leads to the failure to achieve the optimal result. As a remedy, a method based on one-class neural network (ONN) is designed for video anomaly detection. The proposed method combines the layer-by-layer data representation capabilities of the autoencoder and good classification capabilities of ONN. The features of the hidden layer are constructed for the specific task of anomaly detection, thereby obtaining a hyperplane to separate all normal samples from abnormal ones. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 94.9% frame-level AUC and 94.5% frame-level AUC on the PED1 subset and PED2 subset from the USCD dataset, respectively. In addition, it achieves 80 correct event detections on the Subway dataset. The results confirm the wide applicability and good performance of the proposed method in industrial and urban environments.
