Research into the Applications of a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Model in the Recognition of Abnormal Human Behavior

Due to the increasing severity of aging populations in modern society, the accurate and timely identification of, and responses to, sudden abnormal behaviors of the elderly have become an urgent and important issue. In the current research on computer vision-based abnormal behavior recognition, most algorithms have shown poor generalization and recognition abilities in practical applications, as well as issues with recognizing single actions. To address these problems, an MSCS-DenseNet-LSTM model based on a multi-scale attention mechanism is proposed. This model integrates the MSCS (Multi-Scale Convolutional Structure) module into the initial convolutional layer of the DenseNet model to form a multi-scale convolution structure. It introduces the improved Inception X module into the Dense Block to form an Inception Dense structure, and gradually performs feature fusion through each Dense Block module. The CBAM attention mechanism module is added to the dual-layer LSTM to enhance the model's generalization ability while ensuring the accurate recognition of abnormal actions. Furthermore, to address the issue of single-action abnormal behavior datasets, the RGB image dataset RIDS (RGB image dataset) and the contour image dataset CIDS (contour image dataset) containing various abnormal behaviors were constructed. The experimental results validate that the proposed MSCS-DenseNet-LSTM model achieved an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 98.80%, 98.75%, and 98.82% on the two datasets, and 98.30%, 98.28%, and 98.38%, respectively.
