Introduction
Problem description
To describe the problem it is usefull to first look at the current situation for we would like to create a model to optimalise the procedure. The procedure we believe can be optimalized a lot and still has some problems in it is the security at airporst. Currentle all the security checks are done by humans, so besides the standard checks everybody gets, the securityguards determine who 'looks suspicious' and needs to be checked upon more thoroughly. This method still has some problems in it. We would like to introduce a model able to detect various illegal/endangering activities such as (preparation of) violence, acts of terrorism, smuggling and stealing before they have a chance to occur. The model will determine whether (a) person(s) is/are acting suspicious by measuring the biometrics during walking and motion patterns, as these can be used to deduct a person’s mental state, like anxiousness [1]. The problems our model will solve are listed below. Their will also be some problems/constraints explained we have to take into account when making the model.
First problem: In an airport it can get very crowed, this will make it a lot harder for the guards to actually see every single person and detemine if they act suspocious or not. Using multiple camara's already improved this, but we believe that using a model which can analyse the camera footage no person will be missed and at least everybody walking trough the airport will be checked upon suspicious behaviour. This should lead to less or no possible criminals getting away at the airport. Because of the crowds at an airport it is seldom possible to capture the motions of the lower body of a person, especially with (stationary) camera's. this will leed to the constraint that the model can only analyse the biometrics of the upper body. Another option would be to look at and optimalize the number of camera's and the angle their are mounted in and the positions, this way it might be possible to capture the motions of the upper and lower body of the persone walking past. But we will not elaborate on this matter.
Second problem: Because Security guards now deside for themselfs if a person is suspicious or not there will always be some ammount of bias and/or (instructed) profiling. Since our model will analyse a persons behaviour and not it's appaerence it will be a lot more objective and will not use profiling upon appearance. The only thing which needs to be taken into account for this is to check if different types of behaviour are globaly and cultural consistend, does globally everybody show the same behaviour whenthey are for example nervous? Since at the airport people for all different country's and cultures will be present this will lead to the constraint that the model should only use globally consistend que's to determine wheater or not a person is suspicious.
Definitions

- Biometrics
- We define biometrics as the measurements and analyses of body movement characteristics that are unique to types of behaviour. see the chapter 'Possible biometrics for detecting abnormal behavior in crowds' for more in depth information of how we determine the biometrics from surveillance footage

State-of-the-art
Possible biometrics for detecting abnormal behavior in crowds
In order to be able to detect abnormal behavior certain characteristics are required in order to identify agents in a a scene. Such characteristics are based on either physiological or behavioral characteristics and are generally referred to as biometrics. In order to asses the biometric the following conditions can be used:[2]
- Universality (every person in the scene should posses the trait)
- Uniqueness (it has to be sufficiently unique so that the agents can be distinguished between one another)
- Permanence (the trait should not vary too much over time)
- Measurability (the trait should be relatively easy to measure)
- Performance (relates to the speed, accurateness and robustness of the technology used)
- Acceptability (the subjects should be accepting towards the technology used)
- Circumvention (It should not be easy to imitate the metric)
Most research on identifying behavior via computer vision techniques are focused on non-crowded situations. The subject is either isolated or only a very small number of people are present. However, most of the conventional computer vision methods are not appropriate for use in crowded areas. This is partly due to the fact that people display different behavior in crowd context. As a result, some individual characteristics can no longer be used, but new collective characteristics of the crowd as a whole now emerge. Another big factor is the difficulty of identifying and tracking individuals in a crowd context. This is mostly due to occlusion of (parts of) the subject(s) by objects or other agents. The quality of the video image and the increased processing power needed to track individuals are also important factors.
[3]
Most current research on detecting abnormal behavior in crowds focuses on tracking of the people in the crowds. The individual tracking of people has proven to be difficult in a crowd context. Many different methods have been proposed for individual tracking and while these tend to work satisfactory for low to moderately crowded situations, they tend to fall flat in higher density crowds. There are also models which try to use general crowd characteristics to detect anomalies, but these tend to ignore singular abnormalities and are better suited for detecting general locations in the scene which contain anomalies, for example where a fire has broken out.[3]
There are promising models that try to combine a bit of both extremes. There is a model which uses a set of low-level motion features to form trajectories of the people in the crowd, but uses an additional rule-set computed based on the longest common sub-sequences [4]. This results in a system that is capable of highlighting individual movements not coherent with the dominant flow. Another paper created an unsupervised learning framework to model activities and interactions in crowded and complicated scenes [5]. They used three elements: low-level visual elements, "atomic" activities, the most fundamental of actions which can not be further divided in sub-activities, and interactions. This model was capable of completing challenging visual surveillance tasks such as determining abnormalities.
Common problems in crowded scenes, such as occlusion of the subjects, can be prevented by moving to a multi-camera surveillance system. Having different angles of the same scene available allows the system to better identify and track subjects. Dynamic cameras (cameras able to turn and zoom in and out) should be able to increase the efficiency of identifying suspicious persons by for example zooming on on the area. However, the use of multiple cameras brings new problems with it. It is difficult to calibrate camera view with significant overlap and to compute their topology. Calibrating camera views which are disjoint and where objects move on multiple ground planes has proven to be challenging. Most research on video surveillance assume a single-camera view, even though multiple-camera surveillance systems can better solve occlusions and scene clutters. Most research on multi-camera systems are based on small-camera networks.[6]
Detecting human activity
In order to recognize human activity, a general system is used which divides human activity recognition in three levels. The low-level represents the core technology, meaning the technical aspects for recognizing humans in a scene. The mid-level represents the actual human recognition systems. The high-level represents the recognized results applied in an environment, for example a surveillance environment.
The low-level contains three main processing stages: object segmentation, feature extraction and representation, and activity detection and classification algorithms. Object segmentation is performed on each frame in the video sequence to detect humans in the scene. The segmentation can be divided into two types based on the mobility of the camera used. In case of a static camera, the most used segmentation method is background subtraction. In background subtraction, the background image without any foreground object(s) is first established. The current image can then be subtracted from the background image to obtain the foreground objects. However, this process is highly sensitive to illumination changes and background changes. Other more complex methods are based on complex statistical models or on tracking. For dynamic cameras the background is constantly changing. The most commonly used segregation method is than temporal difference, the difference between consecutive image frames. It is also possible to transform the coordinate system of the moving camera based on the pixel-level motion between two images in the video.
The second stage of the low-level looks at the characteristics of the segmented objects and represents them in some sort of features. These features can generally be categorized in four groups: space-time information, frequency transform, local descriptors and body modeling. Different methods are used for the different categories. The classification algorithm is based on the available set of suitable feature representations.
The actual mid-level abnormal activity recognition generally relies on a deviation approach. Explicitly defining abnormal behavior depends heavily on context and surrounding environments. These types of behaviors are, by definition, not frequently observed. Thus most models use a reference model, as in the case of background subtraction, based on examples or previously seen data, and consider new observations as abnormal if they deviate from the trained model. Different methods are used. The last level, high-level, represents the actual application. The application is dependent on the environment of the system. This research focusses on surveillance environments. In surveillance systems, human activity recognition is mostly focused on automatically tracking individuals and crowds in order to support security personnel. These types of environments tend to have multiple cameras, which can be used together as a network-connected visual system. The cameras can than track the position and velocity path for each subject. The tracking results can then be used to detect suspicious behavior.[7]
Suspicious behaviour
In order to teach our software to recognise suspicious activity we must first determine what constitutes such behaviour. Trying to remain inconspicuous while conducting a highly suspicious action results in a behavioural paradox that can be difficult to detect by bystanders. However, there are some general patterns in body language and motion that are observed significantly more frequently in individuals with criminal intentions. In our research we will distinguish between two types of non-verbal cues: motion of the body itself and motion of the individual through a crowd. With ‘body’ we refer to the torso, head and arms, because these are mostly visible in a crowd, while the lower body is not. Facial expressions are outside the scope of our project and will not be taken into account.
Body language
Body language of people with criminal intent tends to differ from that of bystanders, because they need to remain undetected [1]. Frey [8], among others, showed that people recognise this deception far more often than can be accounted for by chance.
During the build-up phase of a crime, offenders often show an increased frequency of object- and self-adaptors, in other words, the “manipulation of objects without instrumental goal” [9] and the frequency and duration of contact between the hand and the own body [10]. This includes touching and scratching of the own hair and face [11] and strictly unnecessary contact with carried objects, such as tapping pens repeatedly or reaching for an object multiple times without using it. This behaviour was observed in both assassination and bomb-planting scenarios in large crowds, indicating that it is likely not crime-specific [12] [13].
Troscianko et al. [14] observed that head orientation could also give away suspicious intentions. Offenders look away from their walking direction more often and look around repeatedly. However, one should be careful when considering these signs, as airports are vast and crowded, which often results in passengers getting confused or lost. Their searching behaviour could result in similar head movement, while they have no harmful intentions.
Therefore, in addition to the cues itself, a reliable method is needed to differentiate between real cues and normal behaviour. One way to do this is by measuring behaviour relatively to the crowd. To ensure that one wrong gesture does not lead to a false positive, a baseline is established first. The frequency of suspicious behavioural cues is measured in the crowd overall to determine what should be regarded as ‘normal’ behaviour [15]. Only distinct deviations from this baseline are considered suspicious.
The recognition of body language does not rely on perfect information and vision. Experiments were conducted with recognising human behaviour based on point light animation footage. It was observed that humans still can pick up behavioural cues with this limited visual information [16]. This supports the idea that computer software will be able to pick up behavioural cues, despite its visual limitations.
Motion patterns
Criminal intentions do not only show though a person’s body movement, but also in the way they move through a crowd. In general, an offender will show a significantly more abrupt kind of movement during the build-up phase of a crime. There are more changes in speed, position and direction than in a general crowd [1].
However, it is important to keep in mind that these movement patterns should be observed within the relevant context. For example, in an airport, changes in speed and direction could also indicate searching behaviour. It is therefore import to study movement that deviates from the rest of the crowd, rather than universal ‘suspicious’ movement.
All cues, both for motion and body language, were found to be positive deviations, i.e. the behaviour was expressed more strongly by the culprit than by the bystanders [1]. This is a useful property for our project, as it is easier to spot the deviating behaviour of one individual than to find a behaviour that occurs in the overall crowd, but not in one suspicious individual.
Approach
Planning
In order to keep track of the progress of the project and set deadlines for our goals we have made a Gantt chart. This chart shows what tasks are done during what time and how these tasks are divided among our resources.
Milestones
We consider several milestones based on the tasks that lay before us as can be seen in the Gantt chart in the Planning section:
- Finished the research into what defines abnormal Behaviour. (planned by the end of week 2)
- Finished the research into the existing methods for biometric scanning. (planned by the end of week 3)
- Finished analysing the USE aspects that our project brings with it. (planned by the end of week 3)
- Having developed a model for the detection of abnormal behaviour based on previous research and analyses. (planned by the end of week 6)
- Holding the final presentation presenting our product.(planned by the end of week 8)
- Finalized the wiki for judging. (planned by the end of week 8)
Deliverables
At the end of the project we aim to produce the following deliverables:
- A software model of a biometric scanner that detects suspicious behaviour
- Full documentation of the development and research process on this wiki
- A final presentation explaining said model and process
- A peer review of all group members
USE aspects
User
Primary users
- Security Guards
- Police officers
- Military personnel
Secondary users
- Persons being filmed
- Airline companies
- Technical maintenance personnel
Tertiary users
- The people manufacturing, repairing and designing the product
- Governement
User friendliness
User friendliness can be described using the following factors:
- Learnability:
The system does not require the user to learn many new skills. The only thing the user (airport security) needs to learn is how the system lets them know when a suspicious person is detected and who/where this person is.
- Efficiency:
Once the system is in use, a higher level of efficiency will be reached since more criminals will be detected and less innocent people will be checked by security.
- Memorability:
Since there is not a lot to learn for the user, it will be possible to use the system even after not using it for a longer period of time.
- Errors:
Once the system is realised, its error rate should be analysed extensively. If it made more incorrect detections than a human securtity guard, the system would be unnecessary. For the effectiveness of the product it is important to keep te error rate of the system as low as possible.
- Satisfaction
With the questions of the interview below, a general idea of what the users are looking for in the system can be established and interpeted. However, since the survey will be restricted to only a few individuals we cannot guarantee that there results are representative. If the system was realised, user tests would still be needed during and after the design process to find out what the users think of the ineraction with the system and which things should be changed to suit their needs optimally.
Sense of participation
Interview primary users
In order to gain insight in the current methods of detecting suspicious persons and to look at the wishes of the primary users of the system, a survey will be done with security personnel at airport Veldhoven. We will ask them the following questions:
Behaviour:
- Which behavioural cues do you look for when trying to identify suspicious persons?
- What kind of criminal activities do you encounter at the airport?
- Do different criminal activities correspond to different behaviours?
- Could you explain which cues are specific for each crime?
- To what extend do you look at body language specifically?
- Do you consider the way people move through a crowd when trying to identify suspicious individuals?
- How does the motion pattern of a suspicious person differ from that of an innocent person?
- What role does facial recognition play in your job?
Procedure and failure rate:
- How many people are present in the departure hall during peak hours?
- What actions do you take after identifying a suspicious person?
- How often does it occur that an apprehended person turns out to be innocent?
- Which specific causes contribute to this false-positive rate?
System interaction:
- To what extend would you trust a camera-based computer system which detects suspicious persons automatically?
- Why would you (not) trust it?
- If such a system existed and it detected a suspicious individual, how would you prefer this information to be presented to you?
- Why do you find this type of interaction most convenient?
- Are there any particular features you would like to see in such a program?
- Are there any aspects of your job that, in your opinion, cannot or should not be automated?
Society
Advantages
For a System to work and be accepted in society it should have a lot of societal advantages. The biggest advantages and thus the reasons to design this system will be listed below.
Terrorist/criminal activity
The first advantage is also the main goal of the system. To detect criminal activity at airports. By using cameras and algorithms to detect movements linked to nervousness, and movents labled as 'suspicious' potential terrorists and/or smuglers etc. can be caught. By using this system the process will be more efficient since it can analyse every person walking in the airport. Therefore, this system will be responsible for a higher criminal detection rate and thus reduce the chances of terrorist attacks.
Security
As said above, using the system should result in a higher criminal and terrorists catching rate, making the airport and flying safer. The system will not act as a replacement of the security at an airport, but will be an aid to help them be more accurate, select/check less hermless people, and more effective, possible to check every person entering the airport, in finding criminals. Since the system is only capable of detecting suspicious persons the securtity/police will still have to the check for proof and, if neccesary, conduct the arrest.
Racial/religious tensions
The last advantage this sytem will provide is its objectiveness. Since the system will be 'scanning' persons based on their behaviour and movements the outer appearance of the person is not taken into account when determmining if a person could be dangarous or not. With persons/security/police detecting suspisous persons their will always be some part of bias, since it is humanly impossible to be completely unbias. Also currently selecting people is also partyally based upon profiling, by looking for external characteristics convicted criminals have in common and based on those external charasteristics search for people who also have these charateristics because it would than be more likely for them to be a criminal. This is a self induced system. If for example 70% of convicted criminals would wear blue nail polish, people wearing blue nail polish would be checked upon for more often than people who don't, leading to more findings and more arrests of people with blue nail polish and thus keeping up this profile. Currently there are a lot of discussions about this fenomenon, because it is claimed to happen upon characteristics such as race and religion. This leads to a lot of tension between different races and religions within a country but also world wide. By using the system this (racial) profiling can be extermintated since it is not based upon a database of suspicious external charateristics but upon behaviour. A lot of our behaviour and body language is unconsiouly so by using psychological research this unconsious behaviour can be analysed and liked to certain feelings and acts, such as nervousness and lying.
Disadvantages
Besides the advantages their should also be looked closely to the disadvantages it might have for the society.
Privacy concerns
The biggest disadvantage people will propably bring up will be the privacy invasion. Knowing that the moment you walk into the airport you're beging filmed and watched will cause the issue that other people will know where you are, when you leave the country an where you're going to. In the privacy vs. security debate there are three questions that need to be awnsered to determine is the advantages outweight the disadvantages. (Brey,2004) these three questions are: How much added security results from the system? How invasive to privacy is the technology, as can be judged from both public response and scholarly arguments? Are there reasonable alternatives to the technology that may yield similar security results without the privacy concerns?
the first question cannot be awnsered yet, because we can't yet measure if and how much more criminals will be caught with the system, therefor it should first be build and testes before qe can get these results. For the second question an awnser could be that is doesn't change much to privacy since at an airport there now already are security camera's so people already are being filmed, they are just not being analysed by an algorith yet. To get more insight in how the public thinks about this a survey could be held. the anwser to the third question is also debatable because of the word reasonable. Because the method used now, analyzig by security guards, can be seen as an resonable alternative since it is also acceptec now. But one could also reson ther isn't a resonable alternative because no people could be completly without bias. And the system will be more effective than the current method, althought as stated in the first question it can not be determined how mich more effective it will be.
Errors
Another disadvantage that should be taken into account is the errorrate of the system. Since it is very hard to test the system in simulation situations, unconsious behaviour is hard to simulate/act. So the real errorrate could only be detemined when tested in real life, this could be risky is it than turns out to have a large errorrate by either selecting a lot of harmless people, or by not selecting potential criminals.terrorist. The first type of error doesn't bring much risk, it is only inconvenient vor the selected travlers. The second type of error could be risky since then criminals and terrorist aren't getting cought and can still cause trouble. A way to reduce this risk and handle this disadvantage is to when it still needs to be tested the reagular security as it is done right now will run simulatiously. This way during the testing it will be atleast as save as it is right now.

Model
Conceptual model
In summary, we found the following behavioural cues that indicate suspicious behavior:
- Non-instrumental use of objects/fidgeting
- Looking around
- Looking away from walking direction
- Touching your own body (face/hair)
- Deviation from general crowd flow
- Walking in circles
One ‘offence’ should not lead to immediate action. There must be a baseline to determine what level of offence is suspicious. Because the system we want to design is completely new, we have no given baselines that we could use. However, we could implement a learning system that could generate a baseline. The software would be placed in a departure hall of an airport and detect the indicated behaviour. However, it should not report to security yet. It merely counts the amount of offences to establish the average number of behavioural cues per individual. Once we have established a base line and the system is running, we will use probabilistics to determine whether a person is suspicious or not, as we will specify below. Since the system detects the cues to spot suspicious behaviour anyway, it can adjust the baseline actively to adapt to possible changes.
Assumptions
Several things are assumed when creating the model:
- There is only one suspicious person at the time
- The only behavioural cues for suspicious behavior are the ones mentioned above
- The behavioural cues are positive deviations
- All cues have an equal weight
Entities and properties

Relations
The diagram below illustrates the proposed model and the relations between agents.
When to report
We will assume that the amount of times a person shows a behavioural cue is normally distributed with mean [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math] and standard deviation [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma }[/math]. This distribution fits well, since the chances of somebody being close to the baseline are highest and higher numbers of behavioural cues are increasingly unlikely to occur. Since we are looking for positive deviations, we will only consider numbers above the mean. However, should a negative deviation of behaviour be discovered, this could be implemented the same way.
Let’s first look at a system restricted to one type of behaviour. Let random variable X denote the number of cues picked up by the system. Then the probability that X is larger than value x is given by
P(X ≥ x) = 1 - P(X ≤ x)
Note that in a continuous distribution the probability of X being exactly equal to any number is 0, so we can use a non-strict equality on both sides. We now have to define how much deviation we find suspicious. The probability P(X ≤ μ) = 0.5, and since we do not consider negative deviations, we will assign probability 0.5 to any number of cues smaller than or equal to the mean and consider this normal behaviour. As a person shows a higher number of cues, the probability decreases. If the probability becomes lower than threshold t, we consider the event too unlikely, and therefore suspicious. The system should then report this person. Due to our lack of experience and available statistics, the exact value of t remains unknown. If we can manage to actually build a working software model, we will experiment with several t-levels to determine what is reasonable.
With only one behaviour this system is prone to false positives. Somebody might for example touch their nose a lot because they have a cold, but the system recognises this action from the list of suspicious behaviours and will quickly come to think that this person might have malicious intentions. To prevent this, several behavioural cues should be considered simultaneously. The question is, how to combine this data into a reliable system.
One way to do this, is by calculating the probability that all ‘events’, cue c showing n times, occur at the same time. We can consider all events as independent; generally the probability of scratching your nose does not tend to influence the probability of walking in circles and vice versa. Only if person is suspicious, he is more likely to show all cues at once. Let X and Y be independent random variables. Then the combined probability is
P(X = x, Y = y) = P(X = x) ⋅ P(Y = y)
In our system we work with six independent variables, each with their own probability distribution. We can find the combined probability by multiplying the individual probabilities. The probability of the person behaving in an average or below average way is (1/2)6 ≈ 0.016. Any positive deviations will lower this number. For example, if a person walks in circles many times and the chance of this happening is only 5%, the combined probability will be (1/2)5 ⋅ 1/20 ≈ 0.0016, which is a whole scale of magnitude lower than the default value. However, the above-mentioned nose scratching problem is still not solved this way. One behavior could appear so frequently, that it could cause an alarm all on its own. To prevent this, we could also set a threshold for the number of different behaviours that appear unnaturally often. If the total probability goes under threshold t and n different behaviours are above average, a person is considered suspicious.
