Contributions to the Problem of Fight Detection in Video

Abstract

While action detection has become an important line of research in computer vision, the detection of particular events such as violence, aggression or fights, has been relatively less studied. These tasks may be extremely useful in several video surveillance scenarios such as psychiatric wards, prisons or even in camera smartphones. The clear practical applications have led to a surge of interest in developing violence detectors.
