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

Scott J. Blunsden, Robert B. Fisher

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.
