Many automated systems need the capability of automatic change detection without the given detection threshold. This paper presents an automated change detection algorithm in streaming multivariate data. Two overlapping windows are used to quantify the changes. While a window is used as the reference window from which the clustering is created, the other called the current window captures the newly incoming data points. A newly incoming data point can be considered a change point if it is not a member of any cluster. As our clustering-based change detector does not require detection threshold, it is an automated detector. Based on this change detector, we propose a reactive clustering algorithm for streaming data. Our empirical results show that, our clustering-based change detector works well with multivariate streaming data. The detection accuracy depends on the number of clusters in the reference window, the window width.
The clustering-based change detection method proposed here is related to the work on automatic change detection and change detection in multivariate streaming data, and clustering-based change detection, and the reactive work on building and maintaining of model. As automated systems require the capability of real-time processing, and adapting to the changing environments, automated change detection plays an important role in many automated systems. One of the models of real-time processing is data stream processing. For example, sensor networks need the automated change detection methods in which detection threshold must adapt to the changes of the environment. Automated change detection method is also important in many mobile robotic applications @cite_1 . For example, @cite_1 have proposed an online change detection method for mobile robots based on the segmentation approach. Recently @cite_11 have developed Data3, a Kinect interface for human motion detection. In fact, Data3 is a kind of system capable of detecting the changes in spatial-temporal streaming data.

Clustering is crucial for many computer vision applications such as robust tracking, object detection and segmentation. This work presents a real-time clustering technique that takes advantage of the unique properties of event-based vision sensors. Since event-based sensors trigger events only when the intensity changes, the data is sparse, with low redundancy. Thus, our approach redefines the well-known mean-shift clustering method using asynchronous events instead of conventional frames. The potential of our approach is demonstrated in a multi-target tracking application using Kalman filters to smooth the trajectories. We evaluated our method on an existing dataset with patterns of different shapes and speeds, and a new dataset that we collected. The sensor was attached to the Baxter robot in an eye-in-hand setup monitoring real-world objects in an action manipulation task. Clustering accuracy achieved an F-measure of 0.95, reducing the computational cost by 88 compared to the frame-based method. The average error for tracking was 2.5 pixels and the clustering achieved a consistent number of clusters along time. In the past few years there has been increased interest in using data-mining techniques to extract interesting patterns from time series data generated by sensors monitoring temporally varying phenomenon. Most work has assumed that raw data is somehow processed to generate a sequence of events, which is then mined for interesting episodes. In some cases the rule for determining when a sensor reading should generate an event is well known. However, if the phenomenon is ill-understood, stating such a rule is difficult. Detection of events in such an environment is the focus of this paper. Consider a dynamic phenomenon whose behavior changes enough over time to be considered a qualitatively significant change. The problem we investigate is of identifying the time points at which the behavior change occurs. In the statistics literature this has been called the change-point detection problem. The standard approach has been to (a) upriori determine the number of change-points that are to be discovered, and (b) decide the function that will be used for curve fitting in the interval between successive change-points. In this paper we generalize along both these dimensions. We propose an iterative algorithm that fits a model to a time segment, and uses a likelihood criterion to determine if the segment should be partitioned further, i.e. if it contains a new changepoint. In this paper we present algorithms for both the batch and incremental versions of the problem, and evaluate their behavior with synthetic and real data. Finally, we present initial results comparing the change-points detected by the batch algorithm with those detected by people using visual inspection. Action detection is of great importance in understanding human motion from video. Compared with action recognition, it not only recognizes action type, but also localizes its spatiotemporal extent. This paper presents a relational model for action detection, which first decomposes human action into temporal “key poses” and then further into spatial “action parts”. Specifically, we start by clustering cuboids around each human joint into dynamic-poselets using a new descriptor. The cuboids from the same cluster share consistent geometric and dynamic structure, and each cluster acts as a mixture of body parts. We then propose a sequential skeleton model to capture the relations among dynamic-poselets. This model unifies the tasks of learning the composites of mixture dynamic-poselets, the spatiotemporal structures of action parts, and the local model for each action part in a single framework. Our model not only allows to localize the action in a video stream, but also enables a detailed pose estimation of an actor. We formulate the model learning problem in a structured SVM framework and speed up model inference by dynamic programming. We conduct experiments on three challenging action detection datasets: the MSR-II dataset, the UCF Sports dataset, and the JHMDB dataset. The results show that our method achieves superior performance to the state-of-the-art methods on these datasets. In this work, we propose an approach to the spatiotemporal localisation (detection) and classification of multiple concurrent actions within temporally untrimmed videos. Our framework is composed of three stages. In stage 1, appearance and motion detection networks are employed to localise and score actions from colour images and optical flow. In stage 2, the appearance network detections are boosted by combining them with the motion detection scores, in proportion to their respective spatial overlap. In stage 3, sequences of detection boxes most likely to be associated with a single action instance, called action tubes, are constructed by solving two energy maximisation problems via dynamic programming. While in the first pass, action paths spanning the whole video are built by linking detection boxes over time using their class-specific scores and their spatial overlap, in the second pass, temporal trimming is performed by ensuring label consistency for all constituting detection boxes. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on the challenging UCF101, J-HMDB-21 and LIRIS-HARL datasets, achieving new state-of-the-art results across the board and significantly increasing detection speed at test time. We achieve a huge leap forward in action detection performance and report a 20 and 11 gain in mAP (mean average precision) on UCF-101 and J-HMDB-21 datasets respectively when compared to the state-of-the-art.
