Spatio-temporal Video Parsing for Abnormality Detection
Abnormality detection in video poses particular challenges due to the
infinite size of the class of all irregular objects and behaviors. Thus no (or
by far not enough) abnormal training samples are available and we need to find
abnormalities in test data without actually knowing what they are.
Nevertheless, the prevailing concept of the field is to directly search for
individual abnormal local patches or image regions independent of another. To
address this problem, we propose a method for joint detection of abnormalities
in videos by spatio-temporal video parsing. The goal of video parsing is to
find a set of indispensable normal spatio-temporal object hypotheses that
jointly explain all the foreground of a video, while, at the same time, being
supported by normal training samples. Consequently, we avoid a direct detection
of abnormalities and discover them indirectly as those hypotheses which are
needed for covering the foreground without finding an explanation for
themselves by normal samples. Abnormalities are localized by MAP inference in a
graphical model and we solve it efficiently by formulating it as a convex
optimization problem. We experimentally evaluate our approach on several
challenging benchmark sets, improving over the state-of-the-art on all standard
benchmarks both in terms of abnormality classification and localization.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, 3 table
Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

Fusion of Head and Full-Body Detectors for Multi-Object Tracking
In order to track all persons in a scene, the tracking-by-detection paradigm
has proven to be a very effective approach. Yet, relying solely on a single
detector is also a major limitation, as useful image information might be
ignored. Consequently, this work demonstrates how to fuse two detectors into a
tracking system. To obtain the trajectories, we propose to formulate tracking
as a weighted graph labeling problem, resulting in a binary quadratic program.
As such problems are NP-hard, the solution can only be approximated. Based on
the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, we present a new solver that is crucial to handle
such difficult problems. Evaluation on pedestrian tracking is provided for
multiple scenarios, showing superior results over single detector tracking and
standard QP-solvers. Finally, our tracker ranks 2nd on the MOT16 benchmark and
1st on the new MOT17 benchmark, outperforming over 90 trackers.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; Winner of the MOT17 challenge; CVPRW 201
