Abstract
A characteristic motion in a video is identified by determining pairs of moving features that have an indicative relationship between the motions of the two moving features in the pair. For example, the motion of a pedestrian is identified by an indicative relationship between the motions of the pedestrian's feet. This indicative relationship may be that one of the feet moves relative to the surroundings while the other remains stationary.
