A Markov Clustering Topic Model for mining behaviour in video

Hospedales, Timothy, Gong, Shaogang, Xiang, Tao·2009·2009 IEEE 12th International Conference on Computer Vision

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of fully automated mining of public space video data. A novel Markov Clustering Topic Model (MCTM) is introduced which builds on existing Dynamic Bayesian Network models (e.g. HMMs) and Bayesian topic models (e.g. Latent Dirichlet Allocation), and overcomes their drawbacks on accuracy, robustness and computational efficiency. Specifically, our model profiles complex dynamic scenes by robustly clustering visual events into activities and these activities into global behaviours, and correlates behaviours over time. A collapsed Gibbs sampler is derived for offline learning with unlabeled training data, and significantly, a new approximation to online Bayesian inference is formulated to enable dynamic scene understanding and behaviour mining in new video data online in real-time. The strength of this model is demonstrated by unsupervised learning of dynamic scene models, mining behaviours and detecting salient events in three complex and crowded public scenes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
