Abstract

Method and system for objects surveillance and real-time activity recognition is based on analysis of spatio-temporal images of individuals under surveillance where a spatio-temporal volume occupied by each individual is decomposed by crossing the same at specific heights to form 2-dimensional slices, each containing representation of trajectory of the motion of corresponding portions of the individual body. The symmetry of the trajectories (Gait DNA) is analyzed and classified to generate data indicative of a type of activity of the individual based on the symmetry or asymmetry of the Gait DNA in each 2-dimensional slice. An effective occlusion handling ability is implemented which permits to restore the occluded silhouette of an individual.
