Abstract

Modeling and recognition of complex activities involving multiple, interacting objects in video is a significant problem in computer vision. In this paper, we examine activities using relative distances in phase space via pairwise analysis of all objects. This allows us to characterize simple interactions directly by modeling multi-object activities with the Multiple Objects, Pairwise Analysis (MOPA) feature vector, which is based upon physical models of multiple interactions in phase space. In this initial formulation, we model paired motion as a damped oscillator in phase space. Experimental validation of the theory is provided on the standard VIVID and UCR Videoweb datasets capturing a variety of problem settings.
