In video surveillance, classication of visual data can be very hard, due to the scarce resolution and the noise characterizing the sensors' data. In this paper, we propose a novel feature, the ARray of COvariances (ARCO), and a multi-class classifcation framework operatingon Riemannian manifolds. ARCO is composed by a structure of covariance matrices of image features, able to extract information from data at prohibitive low resolutions. The proposed classication framework consists in instantiating a new multi-class boosting method, working on the manifold Sym+ of symmetric positive defnite d x d (covariance) matrices. As practical applications, we consider different surveillance tasks, such as head pose classifcation and pedestrian detection, providing novel state-of-the-art performances on standard datasets.

Abstract

In video surveillance, classication of visual data can be very hard, due to the scarce resolution and the noise characterizing the sensors' data. In this paper, we propose a novel feature, the ARray of COvariances (ARCO), and a multi-class classifcation framework operatingon Riemannian manifolds. ARCO is composed by a structure of covariance matrices of image features, able to extract information from data at prohibitive low resolutions. The proposed classication framework consists in instantiating a new multi-class boosting method, working on the manifold Sym+ of symmetric positive defnite d x d (covariance) matrices. As practical applications, we consider different surveillance tasks, such as head pose classifcation and pedestrian detection, providing novel state-of-the-art performances on standard datasets.
