This paper presents a method for detecting an inci-dent motion (e.g., tumble or violent action of a person) in a dynamic background scene. This method is based on the use of spatio-temporal features obtained using a space-time patch (ST-patch). Our approach consists of three steps: 1) dynamic background modeling us-ing a Gaussian mixture model, 2) human regions de-tection based on Real AdaBoost, and 3) calculation of irregularity measure using weighted ST-patch features. The proposed method can be used to detect the inci-dent motion in a scene with a dynamic background, which would be difficult to detect with a conventional method using cubic higher-order local auto-correlation (CHLAC) features. Our experimental results show that our method performs about 27 % better than the conven-tional method in a contained scene with an escalator as the dynamic background. 1
