Anomaly behavior detection plays a significant role in emergencies such as robbery. Although a lot of works have been proposed to deal with this problem, the performance in real applications is still relatively low. Here, to detect abnormal human behavior in videos, we propose a multiscale spatial temporal attention graph convolution network (MSTA-GCN) to capture and cluster the features of the human skeleton. First, based on the human skeleton graph, a multiscale spatial temporal attention graph convolution block (MSTA-GCB) is built which contains multiscale graphs in temporal and spatial dimensions. MSTA-GCB can simulate the motion relations of human body components at different scales where each scale corresponds to different granularity of annotation levels on the human skeleton. Then, static, globally-learned and attention-based adjacency matrices in the graph convolution module are proposed to capture hierarchical representation. Finally, extensive experiments are carried out on the ShanghaiTech Campus and CUHK Avenue datasets, the final results of the frame-level AUC/EER are 0.759/0.311 and 0.876/0.192, respectively. Moreover, the frame-level AUC is 0.768 for the human-related ShanghaiTech subset. These results show that our MSTA-GCN outperforms most of methods in video anomaly detection and we have obtained a new state-of-the-art performance in skeleton-based anomaly behavior detection.
