The main goal behind multimodal context modelling is to identify the context type from video-surveillance footage of multipurpose halls. First, the distribution of the different zones in a multipurpose hall is automatically captured using a dedicated depth based segmentation method. The discriminative description is illustrated by extracting five semantic features according to depth zones. These features are processed with the Transferable Belief Model to propose a classification. Results show the validity of the method for context recognition. ER -
