Abstract
Loitering detection can help recognize vulnerable people needing attention and potential suspects harmful to public security. The existing loitering detection methods used time or target trajectories as assessment criteria, and only handled some simple loitering circumstances because of complex track. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a loitering detection method based on pedestrian activity area classification. The paper first gave loitering definition from a new perspective using the size of pedestrian activity area. The pedestrian loitering behaviors were divided into three categories. The proposed algorithms dynamically calculate enclosing rectangle, ellipse, and sector of pedestrian activity areas through curve fitting based on trajectory coordinates within given staying time threshold. The loitering is recognized if the pedestrian activity is detected to be constrained in an area within a certain period of time. The algorithm does not need to calculate complex trajectories. The PETS2007 dataset and our own self-collected simulated test videos were tested. The experimental results show that the proposed method accurately detected the pedestrian loitering, not only detected some loitering that the existing methods could not detect, but also distinguishing different types of loitering. The proposed method is effectiveness, robust, and simplified in implementation.
