In the last few years, due to the continuous advancement of technology, human behavior detection and recognition have become important scientific research in the field of computer vision (CV). However, one of the most challenging problems in CV is anomaly detection (AD) because of the complex environment and the difficulty in extracting a particular feature that correlates with a particular event. As the number of cameras monitoring a given area increases, it will become vital to have systems capable of learning from the vast amounts of available data to identify any potential suspicious behavior. Then, the introduction of deep learning (DL) has brought new development directions for AD. In particular, DL models such as convolution neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have achieved excellent performance dealing with AD tasks, as well as other challenging domains like image classification, object detection, and speech processing. In this review, we aim to present a comprehensive overview of those research methods using DL to address the AD problem. Firstly, different classifications of anomalies are introduced, and then the DL methods and architectures used for video AD are discussed and analyzed, respectively. The revised contributions have been categorized by the network type, architecture model, datasets, and performance metrics that are used to evaluate these methodologies. Moreover, several applications of video AD have been discussed. Finally, we outlined the challenges and future directions for further research in the field.
Detecting violence in various scenarios is a difficult task that requires a high degree of generalisation. This includes fights in different environments such as schools, streets, and football stadiums. However, most current research on violence detection focuses on a single scenario, limiting its ability to generalise across multiple scenarios. To tackle this issue, this paper offers a new multi-scenario violence detection framework that operates in two environments: fighting in various locations and rugby stadiums. This framework has three main steps. Firstly, it uses transfer learning by employing three pre-trained models from the ImageNet dataset: Xception, Inception, and InceptionResNet. This approach enhances generalisation and prevents overfitting, as these models have already learned valuable features from a large and diverse dataset. Secondly, the framework combines features extracted from the three models through feature fusion, which improves feature representation and enhances performance. Lastly, the concatenation step combines the features of the first violence scenario with the second scenario to train a machine learning classifier, enabling the classifier to generalise across both scenarios. This concatenation framework is highly flexible, as it can incorporate multiple violence scenarios without requiring training from scratch with additional scenarios. The Fusion model, which incorporates feature fusion from multiple models, obtained an accuracy of 97.66% on the RLVS dataset and 92.89% on the Hockey dataset. The Concatenation model accomplished an accuracy of 97.64% on the RLVS and 92.41% on the Hockey datasets with just a single classifier. This is the first framework that allows for the classification of multiple violent scenarios within a single classifier. Furthermore, this framework is not limited to violence detection and can be adapted to different tasks.

One of the most difficult issues in the history of communication technology is the transmission of secure images. On the internet, photos are used and shared by millions of individuals for both private and business reasons. Utilizing encryption methods to change the original image into an unintelligible or scrambled version is one way to achieve safe image transfer over the network. Cryptographic approaches based on chaotic logistic theory provide several new and promising options for developing secure Image encryption methods. The main aim of this paper is to build a secure system for encrypting gray and color images. The proposed system consists of two stages, the first stage is the encryption process, in which the keys are generated depending on the chaotic logistic with the image density to encrypt the gray and color images, and the second stage is the decryption, which is the opposite of the encryption process to obtain the original image. The proposed method has been tested on two standard gray and color images publicly available. The test results indicate to the highest value of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), unified average changing intensity (UACI), number of pixel change rate (NPCR) are 7.7268, 50.2011 and 100, respectively. While the encryption and decryption speed up to 0.6319 and 0.5305 second respectively.
Cryptography can be thought of as a toolbox, where potential attackers gain access to various computing resources and technologies to try to compute key values. In modern cryptography, the strength of the encryption algorithm is only determined by the size of the key. Therefore, our goal is to create a strong key value that has a minimum bit length that will be useful in light encryption. Using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) with Rubik's cube and image density, the image colors are combined and distorted, and by using the Chaotic Logistics Map and Image Density with a secret key, the Rubik's cubes for the image are encrypted, obtaining a secure image against attacks. ECC itself is a powerful algorithm that generates a pair of public and private elements, and we generate secret key values with the help of the above key pair. This algorithm is applied to smart cards, sensors, and wireless network security. Whereas, the test results indicate that the highest value for PSNR is 7.9641, while the highest values for UACI and NPCR are 35.3721 and 99.9992, respectively. The encoding and decoding speeds reach 0.1561 and 0.1532 seconds, respectively.

In the era of data-driven applications and resource-constrained devices, the need for lightweight algorithms has become increasingly important. Lightweight algorithms refer to computational techniques that strike a balance between efficiency and resource utilization, making them well-suited for low-power devices, embedded systems, and scenarios with limited computational capabilities. For the new encryption method PRESENT, which was put forth in 2007, S-box directly affects the algorithm's security, whereas the p-layer mostly functions as a confusing factor during the encryption process. This paper provides a brief explanation of the PRESENT algorithm's operation and suggests an enhanced S-box and p-layer to address the issue that the main PRESENT S-box and P-layer have an anti-fixed point. The random generate of S-boxes and P-layers for PRESENT algorithms using 6D chaotic systems to generate 10 new S-boxes and 10 new P-layers. Finally, the security analysis has been completed, and the results indicate that the chaos S-box and P-layer are better able to with stand differential attacks and linear assaults and are suitable for protecting sensitive data.
