This work introduces concepts and algorithms along with a case study validating them, to enhance the event detection, pattern recognition and anomaly identification results in real life video surveillance. The motivation for the work underlies in the observation that human behavioral patterns in general continuously evolve and adapt with time, rather than being static. First, limitations in existing work with respect to this phenomena are identified. Accordingly, the notion and algorithms of Dynamic Clustering are introduced in order to overcome these drawbacks. Correspondingly, we propose the concept of maintaining two separate sets of data in parallel, namely the Normal Plane and the Anomaly Plane, to successfully achieve the task of learning continuously. The practicability of the proposed algorithms in a real life scenario is demonstrated through a case study. From the analysis presented in this work, it is evident that a more comprehensive analysis, closely following human perception can be accomplished by incorporating the proposed notions and algorithms in a video surveillance event.
This paper introduces an efficient and robust method that segments long motion capture data into distinct behaviors. The method is unsupervised, and is fully automatic. We first apply spectral clustering on motion affinity matrix to get a rough segmentation. We combined two statistical filters to remove the noises and get a good initial guess on the cut points as well as on the number of segments. Then, we analyzed joint usage information within each rough segment and recomputed an adaptive affinity matrix for the motion. Applying spectral clustering again on this adaptive affinity matrix produced a robust and accurate segmentation compared with the ground-truth. The experiments showed that the proposed approach outperformed the available methods on the CMU Mocap database.
