Abstract

We propose in this paper an approach for recognizinggroup of people behaviors using multiple cameras withoverlapping FOVs (Field Of View). In this context, Behaviorrecognition first relies on low level motion detection andframe to frame tracking which generate a graph of mobileobjects for each camera. Second, to take advantage of allcameras observing the same scene, a combination mechanismis performed to combine the graphs computed for eachcamera into a global one. This global graph is then used forlong term tracking of groups of people evolving in the scene.Finally, the result of the group tracking is used by a higherlevel module which recognizes predefined scenarios correspondingto specific group behaviors. This article focuseson the graphs combination mechanism and on the recognitionof group behaviors. At the end, results on these twoalgorithms are described.
