Abstract | Automatic recognition of human activities is important for the development of next generation video-surveillance systems. In this paper we address the specific problem of automatically detecting violent interpersonal acts in monocular colour video streams. Unlikely previous approaches, only little knowledge is assumed about the acquisition setup and about the content of the acquired scenes. So the proposed approach is suitable in a wide range of practical cases. Reliability and general-purpose applicability is achieved by analysing low-level features (like the spatial-temporal behaviour of coloured stains), and by measuring some warping and motion parameters. In this way it is not necessary to extract accurate target silhouettes, that is a critical task because of occlusions and overcrowding that are typical during interpersonal contacts. A suitable index called maximum warping energy (MWE) has been defined to describe the localized spatial-temporal complexity of colour conformations. Our experiments show that aggressive activities give significantly higher MWE values if compared with safe actions like: walking, running, embracing or handshaking. So it is possible to distinguish violent acts from normal behaviours even in presence of many people and crowded environments. Homography is used to improve robustness by verifying the real targets nearness. False interactions because of perspective-induced occlusions are discarded. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
