This paper proposes a method based on repulsive forces and sparse reconstruction for the detection and location of abnormal events in crowded scenes. In order to avoid the challenging problem of accurately tracking each specific individual…
Nowadays, face recognition and more generally image recognition have many applications in the modern world and are widely used in our daily tasks. This paper aims to propose a distributed approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) method for…
The amount of large-scale real data around us increase in size very quickly and so does the necessity to reduce its size by obtaining a representative sample. Such sample allows us to use a great variety of analytical methods, whose direct…
Compared with single image based crowd counting, video provides the spatial-temporal information of the crowd that would help improve the robustness of crowd counting. But translation, rotation and scaling of people lead to the change of…
Anomalies are strange data points; they usually represent an unusual occurrence. Anomaly detection is presented from the perspective of Wireless sensor networks. Different approaches have been taken in the past, as we will see, not only to…
Hot-spot-based policing programs aim to deter crime through increased proactive patrols at high-crime locations. While most hot spot programs target easily identified chronic hot spots, we introduce models for predicting temporary hot spots…
This paper proposes a space-time multi-scale attention network (STANet) to solve density map estimation, localization and tracking in dense crowds of video clips captured by drones with arbitrary crowd density, perspective, and flight…
We present a local density estimator based on first order statistics. To estimate the density at a point, $x$, the original sample is divided into subsets and the average minimum sample distance to $x$ over all such subsets is used to…
We introduce a detection framework for dense crowd counting and eliminate the need for the prevalent density regression paradigm. Typical counting models predict crowd density for an image as opposed to detecting every person. These…
The present study proposes a novel method of trend detection and visualization - more specifically, modeling the change in a topic over time. Where current models used for the identification and visualization of trends only convey the…
Much effort is being made to ensure the safety of people. One of the main requirements of travellers and city administrators is to have knowledge of places that are more prone to criminal activities. To rate a place as a potential crime…
We propose a simple yet effective proposal-based object detector, aiming at detecting highly-overlapped instances in crowded scenes. The key of our approach is to let each proposal predict a set of correlated instances rather than a single…
Precise knowledge about the size of a crowd, its density and flow can provide valuable information for safety and security applications, event planning, architectural design and to analyze consumer behavior. Creating a powerful machine…
Online social media platforms are turning into the prime source of news and narratives about worldwide events. However,a systematic summarization-based narrative extraction that can facilitate communicating the main underlying events is…
Crowd counting is a concerned and challenging task in computer vision. Existing density map based methods excessively focus on the individuals' localization which harms the crowd counting performance in highly congested scenes. In addition,…
To study the propagation of information from individual to individual, we need mobility datasets. Existing datasets are not satisfactory because they are too small, inaccurate or target a homogeneous subset of population. To draw valid…
This project uses a spatial model (Geographically Weighted Regression) to relate various physical and social features to crime rates. Besides making interesting predictions from basic data statistics, the trained model can be used to…
In this paper, we tackle the problem of Crowd Counting, and present a crowd density estimation based approach for obtaining the crowd count. Most of the existing crowd counting approaches rely on local features for estimating the crowd…
Predicting crime hotspots in a city is a complex and critical task with significant societal implications. Numerous spatiotemporal correlations and irregularities pose substantial challenges to this endeavor. Existing methods commonly…
Our goal is to predict the location of the next crime in a crime series, based on the identified previous offenses in the series. We build a predictive model called Next Hit Predictor (NHP) that finds the most likely location of the next…
