Abstract

In this paper we present our research towards the detection of violent scenes in movies, employing fusion methodologies, based on learning Towards this goal, a multi-step approach is followed: initially, automated auditory and visual processing and analysis is performed in order to estimate probabilistic measures regarding particular audio and visual related classes At a second stage, a meta-classification architecture is adopted, which combines the audio and visual information, in order to classify mid-term video segments as “violent” or “non-violent” The proposed scheme has been evaluated on a real dataset from 10 films.
