Anomaly Detection in the Car Trajectories Using Sparse Reconstruction

In traffic control and vehicle registration systems a big challenge is achieving a system that automatically detects abnormal driving behavior. In this paper a system for detection of vehicle anomalies proposed, which at first extracts spatio-temporal features form clusters then creates dictionary from these features. This classification stage consists of processes such as, optimized clustering with the bee mating algorithm and sparse processing on spatiotemporal features derived from the training data. Finally the trained classifier is applied to the test data for anomaly detection. The distinction of this study from previous research is using new method of pre-processing to create a dictionary matrix and anomaly detection based on evaluation of matrix that related to each class dependency, which leads to higher accuracy of the proposed method compared to other leading methods. To evaluate the proposed method, UCSD database and video sequences recorded from vehicle traffic on Vakilabad Boulevard at the north side of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad are used and the performance of the proposed method is compare to other competing methods in this field. By analyzing the evaluation standards, we find that the proposed method performance is better than other methods.
