Law enforcement and city safety are significantly impacted by detecting violent incidents in surveillance systems. Although modern (smart) cameras are widely available and affordable, such technological solutions are impotent in most instances. Furthermore, personnel monitoring CCTV recordings frequently show a belated reaction, resulting in the potential cause of catastrophe to people and property. Thus automated detection of violence for swift actions is very crucial. The proposed solution uses a novel end-to-end deep learning-based video vision transformer (ViViT) that can proficiently discern fights, hostile movements, and violent events in video sequences. The study presents utilizing a data augmentation strategy to overcome the downside of weaker inductive biasness while training vision transformers on a smaller training datasets. The evaluated results can be subsequently sent to local concerned authority, and the captured video can be analyzed. In comparison to state-of-theart (SOTA) approaches the proposed method achieved auspicious performance on some of the challenging benchmark datasets.

Person re-identification is vital for monitoring and tracking crowd movement to enhance public security. However, re-identification in the presence of occlusion substantially reduces the performance of existing systems and is a challenging area. In this work, we propose a plausible solution to this problem by developing effective occlusion detection and reconstruction framework for RGB images/videos consisting of Deep Neural Networks. Specifically, a CNN-based occlusion detection model classifies individual input frames, followed by a Conv-LSTM and Autoencoder to reconstruct the occluded pixels corresponding to the occluded frames for sequential (video) and non-sequential (image) data, respectively. The quality of the reconstructed RGB frames is further refined and fine-tuned using a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN). Our method is evaluated on four well-known public data sets of the domain, and the qualitative reconstruction results are indeed appealing. Quantitative evaluation in terms of re-identification accuracy of the Siamese network showed an exceptional Rank-1 accuracy after occluded pixel reconstruction on various datasets. A comparative analysis with state-of-the-art approaches also demonstrates the robustness of our work for use in real-life surveillance systems.
