The task of classifying videos of natural dynamic scenes into appropriate classes has gained a lot of attention in recent years. The problem especially becomes challenging when the camera used to capture the video is dynamic. In this paper, we analyse the performance of statistical aggregation (SA) techniques on various pre-trained convolutional neural network(CNN) models to address this problem. The proposed approach works by extracting CNN activation features for a number of frames in a video and then uses an aggregation scheme in order to obtain a robust feature descriptor for the video. We show through results that the proposed approach performs better than the-state-of-the art works for the Maryland and YUPenn dataset. The final descriptor obtained is powerful enough to distinguish among dynamic scenes and is even capable of addressing the scenario where the camera motion is dominant and the scene dynamics are complex. Further, this paper shows an extensive study on the performance of various aggregation methods and their combinations. We compare the proposed approach with other dynamic scene classification algorithms on two publicly available datasetsMaryland and YUPenn to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.
In REF , the statistical aggregation performance of pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models was analyzed to perform dynamic scene classification.
