“…Their structure is typically speci ed by expert knowledge. For instance, Finite-State-Machines (FSMs) have been proposed for modeling the sequential order of single activities such as monitoring of parking lot scenarios [14] and human-object interactions in indoor settings [2] [15]. In addition, Petri Nets (PNs) are presented to coordinate multiple activities and to model relations such as sequencing, and concurrency for outdoor video surveillance [16].…”

“…Therefore, we apply the most adequate strategy to each event type incorporating the uncertainty of low-level analysis. Furthermore, the uncertainty of the semantic de nitions is addressed by including the speci c recognition problems for each modeled event as proposed in [15]. Although our approach is demonstrated in the video monitoring domain, it is not restricted to a speci c domain or implementation as opposed to many existing approaches.…”

“…6 depicts the description and the PN for the Abandonedobject event. As proposed by [15], we overcome existing event recognition problems by including strategies for their solving. For the Abandoned-object PN, the left side de nes the typical model for detecting abandoned objects [31] whilst the right side describes their detection considering that the action owner is not likely to be identi ed (di cult in crowded scenarios).…”

Based on a state-of-art knowledge representation, we de ne a methodology for building recognition strategies from event descriptions that consider the uncertainty of the low-level analysis. Then, we e ciently organize such strategies for performing the recognition according to the temporal characteristics of events. In particular, we use Bayesian Networks and probabilistically-extended Petri Nets for recognizing, respectively, simple and complex events. For demonstrating the proposed approach, a framework has been implemented for recognizing human-object interactions in the video monitoring domain. The experimental results show that our approach improves the event recognition performance as compared to the widely used deterministic approach.Keywords: Video event detection, Semantic video analysis, Bayes Network, Petri Net, Low-level uncertaintyThe recognition of human-related events has recently become a relevant research area motivated by the variety of promising applications such as video surveillance, human-computer interaction and content-based indexing. Moreover, this interest can be also explained by the maturity of the employed low-level tools. Nevertheless, it still presents many challenges such as the uncertainty of the low-level tools (e.g., object detection and tracking), the limited availability of training data, the similar appearance of di erent events and the modeling of complex relations.Many approaches have been proposed for event recognition which can be roughly classi ed into semantic and probabilistic. Semantic (or deterministic) approaches are based on de ning rules to model the events [1]. However, current approaches only describe a small portion of semantics (e.g., $ This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Administration agency CDTI (CENIT-VISION 2007-1007 On the other hand, the probabilistic approaches have shown a superior performance as compared to the semantic ones [4]. They accurately learn event models from training data achieving high precision within a domain and allowing an intrinsic uncertainty handling. However, they are not able to model complex relations and their usage is limited for di erent, albeit related, domains. In this situation, a combination of both approaches would be desirable for solving these limitations. Although this combination is gaining attention in the recent years, current approaches are limited to the de nition of simple events [5], the assumption of accurate low-level analysis [6] and the use of domain-dependent recognition strategies [7]. Thus, their extension to generic recognition of complex events considering low-level uncertainty is not a straightforward task. This paper addresses the above-mentioned limitations by introducin...
