Abstract

Whereas the action recognition community has focused mostly on detecting simple actions like clapping, walking or jogging, the detection of fights or in general aggressive behaviors has been comparatively less studied. Such capability may be extremely useful in some video surveillance scenarios like in prisons, psychiatric or elderly centers or even in camera phones. After an analysis of previous approaches we test the well-known Bag-of-Words framework used for action recognition in the specific problem of fight detection, along with two of the best action descriptors currently available: STIP and MoSIFT. For the purpose of evaluation and to foster research on violence detection in video we introduce a new video database containing 1000 sequences divided in two groups: fights and non-fights. Experiments on this database and another one with fights from action movies show that fights can be detected with near 90% accuracy.
