Graph-Based Correlated Topic Model for Trajectory Clustering in Crowded Videos

Abstract

This paper presents a graph-based correlated topic model (GCTM) to learn and analyse motion patterns by trajectory clustering in a highly cluttered and crowded environment. Unlike previous works that depend on scenes prior, we extract trajectories and apply a spatio-temporal graph (STG) to uncover the spatial and temporal coherence between the trajectories during the learning process. It advances the CTM by integrating a manifold-based clustering as initialization and iterative statistical inference as optimization. The output of GCTM are mid-level features that represent the motion patterns used later to generate trajectory clusters. Experiments on two different datasets show the effectiveness of the approach in trajectory clustering and crowd motion modelling.
