Particularly, an important challenge resides on automatically detecting abnormality. However, there is no convention about the types of anomalies that training data should derive. In surveillance, these are typically detected when new observations differ substantially from observed, previously learned behavior models, which represent normality. This paper focuses on properly defining anomalies within trajectory analysis: we propose a hierarchical representation conformed by Soft, Intermediate, and Hard Anomaly, which are identified from the extent and nature of deviation from learned models. Towards this end, a novel Gaussian Mixture Model representation of learned route patterns creates a probabilistic map of the image plane, which is applied to detect and classify anomalies in real-time. Our method overcomes limitations of similar existing approaches, and performs correctly even when the tracking is affected by different sources of noise. The reliability of our approach is demonstrated experimentally.", optnote="ISE", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2062), last updated on Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:03:21 +0100", isbn="978-3-642-24033-1", issn="1860-949X", doi="10.1007/978-3-642-24034-8_7", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/BFR2012.pdf:PDF" }
