    abstract = {Detecting groups plays an important role for group activity detection. In this paper, we propose an automatic group activity detection by segmenting the video sequences automatically into dynamic clips. As the first step, groups are detected by adopting a bottom-up hierarchical clustering, where the number of groups is not provided beforehand. Then, groups are tracked over time to generate consistent trajectories. Furthermore, the Granger causality is used to compute the mutual effect between objects based on motion and appearances features. Finally, the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process is used to cluster the groups. Our approach not only detects the activity among the objects of a particular group (intra-group) but also extracts the activities among multiple groups (inter-group). The experiments on public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Although our approach is completely unsupervised, we achieved results with a clustering accuracy of up to 79.35 \% and up to 81.94\% on the Behave and the NUS-HGA datasets.},
