Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Group activity recognition has gained attention in computer vision community. Examples of group activities are queueing in a line, talking together and waiting by an intersection. Since it is often hard to differentiate between these activities only by the appearance of the individual, recent works exploit the contextual information of other people nearby. However, these works do not take enough care of the spatial and temporal consistency in a group (e.g. considering the consistency in only adjacent area). This paper describes a method to integrate individual recognition result via CRFs with multiscale dependency, which assume the relationships among all the people. Unlike previous methods that determine the range of human relations by heuristic, our method describes the "multiscale" relationships in position, size, movement and time sequence as flexible potentials, so as to handle various types, sizes and shapes of groups. Experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-the art methods on a benchmark, Collective Activity Dataset. Our work is relevant to many applications such as video surveillance, autonomous vehicles or assistive technologies for impaired users.
