Researches:

Learning the motion patterns for abnormal behaviour detection. Top-right: Training video sequence of a traffic scene. Bottom-right: Trajectory graph representation (tg). Right column: Diagram of learning and abnormal detection. A library of spatio-temporal relations are defined on the tg including the scene structural information, single object motion, pair-wise objects constraints and multiple objects interactions. New relations with largest information gain are pursued following a minimax entropy principle. More subtle abnormal behaviours detected as new relations added.
