Multi-Agent Event Recognition

This paper presents a new approachto recognizingmultiagent events observed by a static camera. To track objects robustly, knowledgeabout the groundplaneand the events is used. An event is considered as composed of action threads, each thread being executed by a single actor. A single thread of action is recognized from the characteristics of the trajectory and moving blob of the actor using Bayesian methods. A multi-agent event is represented by a number of action threads related by temporal constraints. Multi-agent events are recognized by propagating the constraints and likelihoods of event threads in a temporal logic network.
