DarkFight: A detection method of violent behavior in dark place for intelligent monitoring system

With the continuous development of deep learning, the use of deep learning methods for intelligent violent behavior recognition has become an active research field in computer vision. However, there are relatively few studies on violent behavior recognition in dark light environment. In this paper, we propose the DarkFight network model for violent behavior recognition in dark light environment. In the proposed DarkFight model, Resnet50 is used as the basic network model to extract features. In order to obtain multi-scale spatiotemporal features, DarkFight adds a multi-scale attention module PSA to the network. The DarkFight model uses Zero-DCE for low-light image enhancement. In order not to lose the spatiotemporal characteristics of the low-light environment, DarkFight uses the initial dark-light data and the enhanced data as the input to the two paths of the model. In addition, this paper researches the replacement of the traditional temporal global average pooling layer of the network with the BERT module to better utilize the temporal information when fusing the two path features. We construct a violent behavior dataset VDID (Violence Detection in Dark) in a dark-light environment, and conduct experimental verification on this dataset. The verification results show that the recognition precision of the DarkFight model increases by 2.51%, the accuracy increases by 3.4%, and the F1-score improves by 0.032.
