Abstract

This paper presents an efficient framework for activity recognition based on analyzing group context in crowded scenes. We use graph based clustering algorithm to discover interacting groups using top-down mechanism. Using discovered interacting groups, we propose a new group context activity descriptor capturing not only the focal person's activity but also behaviors of its neighbors. For a high-level of understanding of human activities, we propose a random field model to encode activity relationships between people in the scene. We evaluate our approach on two public benchmark datasets. The results of both the steps show that our method achieves recognition rates comparable to state-of-the-art methods for activity recognition in crowded scenes.
