Automated modelling of activity in visual surveillance and unstructured consumer multi-media data are important capabilities for security and commercial content based indexing. These tasks are challenging because tracking and segmentation may be unreliable in with crowds and occlusion; manual labelling of sufficient training data may be prohibitively expensive; and interesting behaviours may be difficult to model due to being visually subtle relative to background activity and/or defined by complex interactions between multiple objects evolving over time. In this talk, I will describe our work addressing activity modelling with probabilistic topic models in both weakly supervised and unsupervised contexts. Within this framework, we can address unsupervised or weakly supervised anomaly detection, hierarchical activity mining and classification, generalising from sparse examples and active learning for rare activity discovery.
