Abnormal events detection based on spatio-temporal co-occurences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We explore a location based approach for behavior modeling and abnormality detection. In contrast to the conventional object based approach where an object may first be tagged, identified, classified, and tracked, we proceed directly with event characterization and behavior modeling at the pixel(s) level based on motion labels obtained from background subtraction. Since events are temporally and spatially dependent, this calls for techniques that account for statistics of spatiotemporal events. Based on motion labels, we learn co-occurrence statistics for normal events across space-time. For one (or many) key pixel(s), we estimate a co-occurrence matrix that accounts for any two active labels which co-occur simultaneously within the same spatiotemporal volume. This co-occurrence matrix is then used as a potential function in a Markov random field (MRF) model to describe the probability of observations within the same spatiotemporal volume. The MRF distribution implicitly accounts for speed, direction, as well as the average size of the objects passing in front of each key pixel. Furthermore, when the spatiotemporal volume is large enough, the co-occurrence distribution contains the average normal path followed by moving objects. The learned normal co-occurrence distribution can be used for abnormal detection. Our method has been tested on various outdoor videos representing various challenges.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
