Optical Flow Approach Followed by SVM Classification Model to Recognize Abnormal Behavior of a Crowd

Abstract

A many of researches have been carried out in the field of the crowd behavior recognition system. Recognizing crowd behavior in videos is most challenging and occlusions because of irregular human movement. This paper gives an overview of optical flow model along with the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification model. This proposed approach evaluates sudden changes in motion of an event and classifies that event to a category: Normal and Abnormal. Geometric means of location, direction, and displacement of the feature points of each frame are estimated. Harris corner Detector is used in each frame for tracking a set of feature points. Proposed approach is very effective in real time scenario like public places where security is most important. After analyzing result ROC curve (receiver operating characteristics) is plotted which gives classification accuracy. We also presented frame level comparison with Ground truth and social force model (SFM) techniques. Our proposed approach is giving a promising result compare to all state of art methods.
