PRE-FIGHT DETECTION - Classification of Fighting Situations using Hierarchical AdaBoost

2009

Abstract

This paper investigates the detection and classification of fighting and pre and post fighting events when viewed from a video camera. Specifically we investigate normal, pre, post and actual fighting sequences and classify them. A hierarchical AdaBoost classifier is described and results using this approach are presented. We show it is possible to classify pre-fighting situations using such an approach and demonstrate how it can be used in the general case of continuous sequences.
