Analyzing repetitive sequential events

A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer readable program code for analyzing one or more sequential events performed by a human actor to analyze behavior of the human actor, said computer program product including:

• computer readable program code for identifying one or more segments in a video sequence as one or more components of one or more sequential events performed by a human actor;
• computer readable program code for integrating the one or more components into one or more sequential events by incorporating a spatiotemporal model and one or more event detectors;
• and
• computer readable program code for analyzing the one or more sequential events to analyze behavior of the human actor.

A system for analyzing one or more sequential events performed by a human actor to analyze behavior of the human actor, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to said memory and operative to:
• identify one or more segments in a video sequence as one or more components of one or more sequential events performed by a human actor;
• integrate the one or more components into one or more sequential events by incorporating a spatiotemporal model and one or more event detectors;
• and
• analyze the one or more sequential events to analyze behavior of the human actor.

An apparatus for analyzing one or more sequential events performed by a human actor to analyze behavior of the human actor, said apparatus comprising:

• means for identifying one or more segments in a video sequence as one or more components of one or more sequential events performed by a human actor;
• means for integrating the one or more components into one or more sequential events by incorporating a spatiotemporal model and one or more event detectors;
• and
• means for analyzing the one or more sequential events to analyze behavior of the human actor.
