Abstract
A novel approach for the detection and classification of human movements in videos scenes is presented in this paper. It consists in detecting, segmenting and tracking foreground objects in video scenes to further classify their movements as conventional or non-conventional. From each tracked object in the scene, features such as position, speed, changes in direction and temporal consistency of the bounding box dimension are extracted. These features make up feature vectors that are stored together with labels that categorize the movement and which are assigned by human supervisors. At the classification step, an instance-based learning algorithm is used to classify the object movement as conventional or non-conventional. For this aim, feature vectors computed from objects in motion are matched against reference feature vectors previously labeled. Experimental results on video clips from two different databases (Parking Lot and CAVIAR) have shown that the proposed approach is able to detect non-conventional human movements in video scenes with accuracies between 77% and 82%.
