Abstract
A method and apparatus for the identification of suspect behaviour in a retail environment, the method comprising: detecting a person in a frame of said stream of video data; extracting a set of activities of the identified person from the stream of video data; assigning a numeric value to each extracted activity in the set of extracted activities, said numeric value representative of a threat level of the activity; accumulating said numeric values to provide a behaviour score; and identifying a behaviour as being suspect when the behaviour score reaches a target threshold value associated with the behaviour.
