Detection of unusual trajectories using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and rough sets

Detection of unusual trajectories of moving objects (e.g., people, automobiles, etc.) is an important problem in many civilian and military surveillance applications. In this work, we propose a multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and rough sets-based approach that breaks down 2-dimensional trajectories into a set of additive components, which then can be used to build a classifier capable of recognizing typical, but yet unseen trajectories, and identifying those that seem suspicious.
