Due to the increasing number of violence cases, there is a high demand for efficient monitoring systems, however, these systems can be susceptible to failure. Therefore, this work proposes the analysis and application of low-cost Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) techniques to automatically recognize and classify suspicious events. Thus, it is possible to alert and assist the monitoring process with a reduced deployment cost. For this purpose, a dataset with violence and non-violence actions in scenes of crowded and non-crowded environments was assembled. The mobile CNNs architectures were adapted and obtained a classification accuracy of up to 92.05%, with a low number of parameters. To demonstrate the models' validity, a prototype was developed by using an embedded Raspberry Pi platform, able to execute a model in real-time with 4 frames-per-second of speed. In addition, a warning system was developed to recognize pre-fight behavior and anticipate violent acts, alerting security to potential situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
