Abstract

Described herein are a system and a method for abnormal behavior detection using automatic classification of multiple features. Features from various sources, including those extracted from camera input through digital image analysis, are used as input to machine learning algorithms. These algorithms group the features and produce models of normal and abnormal behaviors. Outlying behaviors, such as those identified by their lower frequency, are deemed abnormal. Human supervision may optionally be employed to ensure the accuracy of the models. Once created, these models can be used to automatically classify features as normal or abnormal. This invention is suitable for use in the automatic detection of abnormal traffic behavior such as running of red lights, driving in the wrong lane, or driving against traffic regulations.
