Hierarchical Anomality Detection Based on Situation

In this paper, we propose a novel anomality detection method based on external situational information and hierarchical analysis of behaviors. Past studies model normal behaviors to detect anomality as outliers. However, normal behaviors tend to differ by situations. Our method combines a set of simple classifiers with pedestrian trajectories as inputs. As mere path information is not sufficient for detecting anomality, trajectories are first decomposed into hierarchical features of different abstract levels and then applied to appropriate classifiers corresponding to the situation it belongs to. Effects of the methods are tested using real environment data.
