    Detection of anomalous crowd behaviour using hyperspherical clustering
    Rao, AS ; Gubbi, J ; Rajasegarar, S ; Marusic, S ; Palaniswami, M (IEEE, 2015-01-12)
    Analysis of crowd behaviour in public places is an indispensable tool for video surveillance. Automated detection of anomalous crowd behaviour is a critical problem with the increase in human population. Anomalous events may include a person loitering about a place for unusual amounts of time; people running and causing panic; the size of a group of people growing over time etc. In this work, to detect anomalous events and objects, two types of feature coding has been proposed: spatial features and spatio-temporal features. Spatial features comprises of contrast, correlation, energy and homogeneity, which are derived from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Spatio-temporal feature includes the time spent by an object at different locations in the scene. Hyperspherical clustering has been employed to detect the anomalies. Spatial features revealed the anomalous frames by using contrast and homogeneity measures. Loitering behaviour of the people were detected as anomalous objects using the spatio-temporal coding.

    important problem in real-life applications. Detection of anomalous behaviors such as people standing statically and loitering around a place are the focus of this paper. In order to detect anomalous events and objects, ViBe was used for background modeling and object detection at first. Then, a Kalman filter and Hungarian cost algorithm were implemented for tracking and generating trajectories of people. Next, spatio-temporal features were extracted and represented. Finally, hyperspherical clustering was used for anomaly detection in an unsupervised manner. We investigate three different approaches to extracting and representing spatio-temporal features, and we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed feature representation on a standard benchmark dataset and a real-life video surveillance environment.
