Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework for event detection based on hierarchic event structure perception. In order to modeling and recognizing semantic event, it is necessary to organize the spatial and temporal visual information into a meaningful representation. The main purpose of this paper is not to detect event in special domain, but to construct general event detection framework in perceptual manner and to provide meaningful unit in different semantic granularity. Specially, in the first stage fine-grained segmentation is preformed by bottom up processing that characteristics of salient regions serve as direct cues to identify temporal boundaries. Furthermore, top-down recognition module detects coarse-grain event by using HMMs to combine prior knowledge with spatio-temporal descriptors of fine-grain unit. The experimental results using different types of video sequences are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed algorithm.
