Automatic Detection of Crucial Areas Based on Speed Correlation in Video Sequences
Based on video frame differential optical flow field, a method of crucial area detection for surveillance video images of examination room is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the optical flow field was calculated with the difference between two adjacent frames. Secondly, the scene was divided roughly into several blocks, and the blocks of which centroid speed is higher than given threshold were further divided into fine sub-blocks, and furthermore, the sub-block which has maximum centroid speed in the block was marked as the area of abnormal target. Finally, the sub-blocks with exceptional speed in the same observation time slice were judged to be the correlate areas with abnormal speed (CAAS), and the intersection of adjacent CAAS were determined as the crucial area. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect the abnormal movement area, and can accurately position the crucial area affecting other targets movement.
