Title
Detection of Abnormal Visual Events via Global Optical Flow Orientation Histogram
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to detect abnormal events in video streams, a challenging but important subject in video surveillance. We propose a novel algorithm to address this problem. The algorithm is based on an image descriptor and a nonlinear classification method. We introduce a histogram of optical flow orientation as a descriptor encoding the moving information of each video frame. The nonlinear one-class support vector machine classification algorithm, following a learning period characterizing the normal behavior of training frames, detects abnormal events in the current frame. Further, a fast version of the detection algorithm is designed by fusing the optical flow computation with a background subtraction step. We finally apply the method to detect abnormal events on several benchmark data sets, and show promising results.
