Crowd Violence Detection from Video Footage
2021
Surveillance systems currently deploy a variety of devices that can capture visual content (such as CCTV, body-worn cameras, and smartphone cameras), thus rendering the monitoring of video footage obtained from multiple such devices a complex task. This becomes especially challenging when monitoring social events that involve large crowds, particularly when there is a risk of crowd violence. This paper presents and demonstrates a crowd violence detection system that can process, analyze, and alert potential stakeholders, when violence-related content is identified in crowd-based video footage. Based on deep neural networks, the proposed end-to-end framework utilizes a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to deal with the (near) real-time analysis of video streams and video files for crowd violence detection. The framework is trained, evaluated, and demonstrated using the Violent Flows dataset, a dataset related to crowd violence that is widely used for research. The presented framework is provided as a standalone application for desktop environments and can analyze both video streams and video files.
