Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the problem of automatically classifying events detected by video surveillance systems; specifically, of detecting unusual or suspicious movements. Approaches to this problem typically involve building complex 3D-models in real-world coordinates to provide trajectory information for the classifier. In this paper we show that analysis of trajectories may be carried out in a model-free fashion, using self-organising feature map neural networks to learn the characteristics of normal trajectories, and to detect novel ones. Trajectories are represented using positional and first and second order motion information, with moving-average smoothing. This allows novelty detection to be applied on a point-by-point basis in real time, and permits both instantaneous motion and whole trajectory motion to be subjected to novelty detection.
