People in crowd scenes always exhibit consistent behaviors and form collective motions. The analysis of collective motion has motivated a surge of interest in computer vision. Nevertheless, the effort is hampered by the complex nature of collective motions. Considering the fact that collective motions are formed by individuals, this paper proposes a new framework for both quantifying and detecting collective motion by investigating the spatio-temporal behavior of individuals. The main contributions of this work are threefold: 1) an intention-aware model is built to fully capture the intrinsic dynamics of individuals; 2) a structure-based collectiveness measurement is developed to accurately quantify the collective properties of crowds; 3) a multi-stage clustering strategy is formulated to detect both the local and global behavior consistency in crowd scenes. Experiments on real world data sets show that our method is able …
