Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for determining anomalous trajectories of objects tracked over a sequence of video frames. In one embodiment, a symbol trajectory may be derived from observing an object moving through a scene. The symbol trajectory represents semantic concepts extracted from the trajectory of the object. Whether the symbol trajectory is anomalous may be determined, based on previously observed symbol trajectories. A user may be alerted upon determining that the symbol trajectory is anomalous.
