Probability Histograms

Probability Histograms

A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Area of Science:

Computer Vision
Machine Learning
Transportation Engineering

Background:

CCTV systems are crucial for transportation surveillance, detecting anomalies like traffic jams and accidents.
Existing behavior recognition systems require enhanced modeling for complex traffic scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel approach for traffic behavior modeling in video-based road surveillance.
To improve the accuracy and flexibility of traffic behavior recognition systems.

Main Methods:

Utilized Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) for background subtraction and Kalman filters for object tracking to generate object trajectories.
Employed the Pachinko Allocation Model (PAM) to model sparse features into traffic topics (activities and behaviors).
Integrated PAM with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for hierarchical representation and recognition of traffic behavior.

Main Results:

PAM effectively captures correlations among activities and behaviors using a directed acyclic graph (DAG).
The proposed PAM-SVM model demonstrated superior flexibility and expressive power compared to Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA).
Achieved higher recognition accuracy in traffic behavior classification.

Conclusions:

The novel PAM-SVM approach offers a more robust and accurate solution for traffic behavior recognition in surveillance.
This method provides a flexible framework for understanding complex traffic dynamics.
The system significantly advances the capabilities of intelligent transportation systems.
