Behaviour recognition is the use of computer vision, sensors, machine learning, or other AI techniques to identify and interpret observable actions and activity patterns. Instead of focusing only on individual objects or events, it analyzes sequences of movements, interactions, and changes over time to determine what type of behaviour is occurring.
In industrial, security, and smart-environment applications, behaviour recognition can identify activities such as abnormal movement, unsafe actions, equipment misuse, crowd formation, or changes in operational routines. By recognizing behaviour automatically, systems can generate alerts, trigger appropriate responses, and provide contextual insights for improving safety, security, and operational efficiency.
