Violence Detection and Localization in Surveillance Video

Automatic violence detection in video surveillance is crucial for social and personal security. Due to the massive video data produced by surveillance cameras installed in different environments like airports, trains, stadiums, schools, etc., traditional video monitoring by humans operators becomes inefficient. In this context, develop systems capable of detect automatically violent actions is a challenging task. This study describes a method to detect and localize violent acts in video surveillance using dynamic images, CNN's, and weakly supervised localization methods. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach when applied to three public benchmark datasets: Hockey Fight [1], Violent Flows [2], and UCFCrime2Loca1 [3].
