In this paper, we propose a weighted interaction force estimation in the social force model(SFM)-based framework, in which the properties of surrounding individuals in terms of motion consistence, distance apart, and angle-of-view along moving directions are fully utilized in order to more precisely discriminate normal or abnormal behaviors of crowd. To avoid the challenges in object tracking in crowded videos, we first perform particle advection to capture the continuity of crowd flow and use these moving particles as individuals for the interaction force estimation. For a more reasonable interaction force estimation, we jointly consider the properties of surrounding individuals, assuming that the individuals with consistent motion (as a particle group) and the ones out of the angle-of-view have no influence on each other, besides the farther apart ones have weaker influence. In particular, particle groups are clustered by spectral clustering algorithm, in which a novel and high discriminative gait feature in frequency domain, combined with spatial and motion feature, is used. The estimated interaction forces are mapped to image span to form force flow, from which bag-of-word features are extracted. Sparse Topical Coding (STC) model is used to find abnormal events. Experiments conducted on three datasets demonstrate the promising performance of our work against other related ones.
