Abnormal event detection based on local topology and l_1/2norm regularize by Qing YU, Ken CHEN, Meng LI, Fei LI

“…A new dictionary learning method was proposed by introducing a local topology term to describe structural information of video events and using the l_1/2norm as the sparsity constraint to the representation coefficients based on the traditional analysis dictionary learning method.In feature extraction,a histogram of interaction force(HOIF) containing rich motion information and a histogram of oriented gradient(HOG) containing texture information were merged.Then,the improved dictionary was used to train the feature data.Finally,the reconstruction error of the testing sample under the dictionary was used to determine whether the testing sample was an abnormal sample.Experiments on UMN show the high performance of the algorithm.Compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms,the analysis dictionary classification algorithm based on local topology and l_1/2norm has made more effective detection on the abnormal events in the crowd.…”

Dynamic Risk Assessment of Karst Tunnel Collapse Based on Fuzzy-AHP: A Case Study of the LianHuaShan Tunnel, China by Yongyan Yu, Xiaobin He, Fei Wan, Zhe Bai, Chongtao Fu

“…Karst cave characteristic factors are composed of cave scales, locations, and thickness of rock plate, based on collapse investigation and theoretical analysis to strengthen the character of karst. (2) A new questionnaire is designed in the consulting process to express the relative importance of factors by combining a Saaty scale method and a designed three-scale method. The judgment matrix by the new questionnaire can satisfy the consistency requirement, which is hard to satisfy in the traditional F-AHP method. (3) The dynamic risk assessment is carried out on different samples in the Lianhuashan tunnel. …”
