HOG Ensembled Boosting Machine Learning Approach for Violent Video Classification

Received Date:16 July 2023, Accepted Date:03 August 2023, Published Date:12 September 2023

Abstract

Background: With the proliferation of machine learning and its applications in a variety of spheres that are important to humans in their day-to-day lives, there is a pressing need for automatic detection models that can identify abnormal behaviors or acts of violence. Methods: This study examines a machine learning model that uses ensemble boosting and histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) to detect violent content from a feature vector with a single parameter. Findings: The tests performed on two benchmark datasets, such as the Hockey Dataset and the Peliculas dataset, reveal a high level of performance accuracy for the classification of violent videos. The experiment findings show that the suggested violence detection model performs well in terms of average metrics, with accuracy, precision, and recall being 90.50%, 91.80%, and 89.70%, respectively. Novelty and applications: The proposed method is capable of striking a balance between high performance and a limited number of parameters, and as a result, it can be implemented with a minimal investment of computational resources.
