By tracking all moving objects in the video, three different levels of spatiotemporal contexts are considered, i.e., point anomaly of a video object, sequential anomaly of an object trajectory, and co-occurrence anomaly of multiple video objects. A hierarchical data mining approach is proposed. At each level, frequency-based analysis is performed to automatically discover regular rules of normal events. Events deviating from these rules are identified as anomalies. The proposed method is computationally efficient and can infer complex rules. Experiments on real traffic video validate that the detected video anomalies are hazardous or illegal according to traffic regulations. date: 2011-03 date_type: published publication: Computer vision and image understanding volume: 115 number: 3 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 323 - 333 id_number: 10.1016/j.cviu.2010.10.008 refereed: TRUE issn: 1077-3142 official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077314210002390 citation: Jiang, Fan and Yuanc, Junsong and Tsaftaris, Sotirios A. and Katsaggelos, Aggelos K.
