Abnormal Activity Recognition in Office Based on R Transform
Ying Wang, Kaiqi Huang, Tieniu Tan · Proceedings - International Conference on Image Processing · 2007
This paper introduces an abnormal activity recognition method based on a new feature descriptor for human silhouette. For a binary human silhouette, an extended radon transform, R transform, is employed to represent low-level features. The information that the initial silhouette carries is transformed in a compact way preserving important spatial information of the activities. Then a set of HMMs based on the features extracted by our method are trained to recognize abnormal activities. Experiments have proved the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, and the comparison with Fourier descriptor illustrates its robustness to disjoint shapes and shapes with holes.
