Abstract

Violent behavior detection has become a hot topic within computer vision. The problems such as diversity of monitoring scene, different crowd density and mutual occlusion among crowds etc. result in a low recognition rate for violent behavior detection. In order to solve these problems, this work proposes an improved method to detect violence sequences. Features which are obtained by combining a streakline model with a variational model are used to discriminate fight and non-fight sequences. Finally, the validity and accuracy of the algorithm are verified via a large amount of challenging real-world surveillance videos.
