Video-based Violence Detection by Human Action Analysis with Neural Network

Abstract

In recent years, human action analysis is a focal point in video processing, especially on action recognition and safety surveillance. It always performs as an auxiliary tool to minimize the manpower-resource on special tasks. This paper explores the human action analysis in a specified situation, based on the human posture extraction by pose-estimation algorithm. Deep neural network (DNN) methods was used, composed of residual learning blocks for feature extraction and recurrent neural network for time-series data learning. All these modules can be applied on real-time videos, classifying different security levels of actions between two people, with 91.8% accuracy on test set. Meanwhile, some other classical network structures were compared as baselines. After forward inference process of the neural network model, a logic enhancement algorithm was raised and applied in this paper, due to the prediction error between two classes. Experiments were conducted on real-time videos, achieving satisfying performance. © (2019) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
