This paper presents a solution for an integrated object-centric event recognition problem for intelligent traffic supervision. We propose a novel event-recognition framework using deep local flow in a fast regionbased convolutional neural network (R-CNN). First, we use a fine-tuned fast R-CNN to accurately extract multi-scale targets in the open environment. Each detected object corresponds to an event candidate. Second, a deep belief propagation method is proposed for the calculation of local fast R-CNN flow (LFRCF) between local convolutional feature matrices of two non-adjacent frames in a sequence. Third, by using the LFRCF features, we can easily identify the moving pattern of each extracted object and formulate a conclusive description of each event candidate. The contribution of this paper is to propose an optimized framework for accurate event recognition. We verify the accuracy of multi-scale object detection and behavior recognition in extensive experiments on real complex road-intersection surveillance videos.
