Abstract
We present a novel method for detecting unusual modes
of behavior in video surveillance data, suitable for supporting home-based care of elderly patients. Our approach is based on detecting unusual patterns of inactivity.
We first learn a spatial map of normal inactivity for an observedscene, expressed as a two-dimensional mixture of Gaus-sians. The map components are used to construct a HiddenMarkov Model representing normal patterns of behavior. Athreshold model is also inferred, and unusual behavior de-tected by comparing the model likelihoods. Our learning procedures are unsupervised, and yield a highly transparent model of scene activity. We present an evaluation of our pproach, and show that it is effective in detecting unusual bhavior across a range of parameter settings.
