Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The automatic classification of violent actions performed by two or more persons is an important task for both societal and scientific purposes. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach, based a Support Vector Machine (SVM), to detect if a human action, captured on a video, is or not violent. Using a pose estimation algorithm, we focus mostly on feature engineering, to generate the SVM inputs. In particular, we hand-engineered a set of input features based on keypoints (angles, velocity and contact detection) and used them, under distinct combinations, to study their effect on violent behavior recognition from video. Overall, an excellent classification was achieved by the best performing SVM model, which used keypoints, angles and contact features computed over a 60 frame image input range.
