Real-time behaviour analysis is of paramount importance to ensure the safety of passengers in border-crossing areas. It allows to recognize the security threats on time. Moreover, it can accelerate the security check since the security personnel only consider severe checks for passengers with suspicious behaviour. In this work, we consider the following suspicious patterns: (a) mindless turn, (b) peculiar interest to the security units, and (c) avoiding the security units. We propose an algorithm to compute an abnormal behaviour score in real-time. This score can help the security personnel to assess passenger movement patterns. We show the performance of our scoring algorithm via different synthetic examples.
In this article, the problem of the lack of robustness and reliability of surveillance systems through disturbing security irrelevant events such as tree shaking, birds flying, etc. is tackled. A novel scene analysis approach based on hypergraph-based trajectories is introduced for reducing the rate of false positives. The conception of hypergraph-based trajectories relaxes the notion of point-based trajectories by allowing multiple incidences between subsequent points in time. This allows a principled approach for the extraction of robust features based on bounding boxes resulting from existing 3rd party detection methods. The experimental part is based on data collected from single-view camera systems over a two-year non-stop recording in the frame of the Austrian KIRAS project SKIN1 on protecting critical infrastructure. The results show substantial reduction of irrelevant false alarms, hence improving the overall system’s performance.
