Reinforcement Learning-based Mixture of Vision Transformers for Video Violence Recognition [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Video violence recognition based on deep learning concerns accurate yet scalable human violence recognition. Currently, most state-of-the-art video violence recognition studies use CNN-based models to represent and categorize videos. However, recent studies suggest that pre-trained transformers are more accurate than CNN-based models on various video ...

SSIVD-Net: A Novel Salient Super Image Classification & Detection Technique for Weaponized Violence [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Detection of violence and weaponized violence in closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage requires a comprehensive approach. In this work, we introduce the \emph{Smart-City CCTV Violence Detection (SCVD)} dataset, specifically designed to facilitate the learning of weapon distribution in surveillance videos.
