Abstract

This paper proposes the use of a mixture of Von Mises distributions to detect abnormal behaviors of moving people. The mixture is created from an unsupervised training set by exploiting k-medoids clustering algorithm based on Bhattacharyya distance between distributions. The extracted medoids are used as modes in the multi-modal mixture whose weights are the priors of the specific medoid. Given the mixture model a new trajectory is verified on the model by considering each direction composing it as independent. Experiments over a real scenario composed of multiple, partially-overlapped cameras are reported.
