Online real-time crowd behavior detection in video sequences
Automatically detecting events in crowded scenes is a challenging task in Computer Vision. A number of offline approaches have been proposed for solving the problem of crowd behavior detection, however the offline assumption limits their application in real-world video surveillance systems. In this paper, we propose an online and real-time method for detecting events in crowded video sequences. The proposed approach is based on the combination of visual feature extraction and image segmentation and it works without the need of a training phase. A quantitative experimental evaluation has been carried out on multiple publicly available video sequences, containing data from various crowd scenarios and different types of events, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach
DeepSignals: Predicting Intent of Drivers Through Visual Signals
Detecting the intention of drivers is an essential task in self-driving,
necessary to anticipate sudden events like lane changes and stops. Turn signals
and emergency flashers communicate such intentions, providing seconds of
potentially critical reaction time. In this paper, we propose to detect these
signals in video sequences by using a deep neural network that reasons about
both spatial and temporal information. Our experiments on more than a million
frames show high per-frame accuracy in very challenging scenarios.Comment: To be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and
