DETECTING HUMAN ABNORMAL BEHAVIORS IN CROWD
Zhi Zhong, Weizhong Ye, Yangsheng Xu · International Journal of Information Acquisition · 2007
Detecting human abnormal behaviors in a crowded situation is a challenging problem for public security departments. Human abnormal behaviors are seen either in an individual or in a crowd. This paper is focused on the latter, which is more crucial at some important spots and has been less studied. To achieve this goal, we define two categories of video energy based on intensity variation and motion features and adopt two surveillance methods for the two energy accordingly. Using wavelet analysis of the energy curves, we have obtained a result which shows that both methods can be used to deal with crowd modeling and real-time surveillance satisfactorily. A comparison of the two methods is then made in the actual environment in a metro surveillance system.
