METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING THE OCCURRENCE OF AN INTERACTION EVENT VIA TRAJECTORY-BASED ANALYSIS

摘要

Disclosed is a method and system for detecting an interaction event between two or more objects in a surveillance area, via the application of heuristics to trajectory representations of the static or dynamic movements associated with the objects. According to an exemplary embodiment, trajectory interaction features (TIFs) are extracted from the trajectory representations and heuristics are applied to the TIFs to determine if an interaction event has occurred, such as a potential illegal drug deal involving two or more pedestrians.
