Abstract:

In order to prevent and supervise the violation behavior in ATC, an unsafe behavior recognition model suitable for controllers' sitting posture was studied by intelligent video analysis technology. Firstly, the hidden characteristics of unsafe working behaviors of air traffic controllers were analyzed, and five typical unsafe behaviors of air traffic controllers were summarized, including stretching, dozing, falling asleep, crooked asleep and half lying asleep, and the video data set of controllers unsafe working status (CUWS) was constructed. Secondly, a skeleton key point expansion algorithm that can describe the controller's sitting posture was proposed. Based on ST-GCN, an ATC-ST-GCN model suitable for sitting posture and legs hidden from view was built,and the workflow of the controller's unsafe behavior recognition was given. Finally, the ATC-ST-GCN model was trained and tested using the CUWS dataset, and the verification test was carried out using the actual surveillance video of the control room. The results show that the model can identify five typical unsafe behaviors on the limited validation dataset, and the accuracy rate reaches 93.65%. The experimental results show that the model is scientific and effective.
