Abstract:
The threats and attacks, perpetrated by criminals and terrorists in many cities around the world have made the use of automated tools for detecting violent acts via video feeds, an invaluable tool to law enforcement authorities. The use of surveillance cameras is widespread, becoming a de facto in the security of most cities and makes the use of such content in public security an obvious course of action. The major caveat is the enormous amount of footage that needs to be analyzed, making such tasks not suitable for human operators, and a great candidate for computer vision techniques. The present work aims to bring objective and synthetic information on the subject through a compilation of findings extracted from numerous articles on the subject, serving as a guide for those entering the area: what are the main strategies, approaches, techniques, and features of interest in the area. The paper, in comparison with older but more comprehensive reviews, boasts similar, even though not so comprehensive results, being a valuable starting point for newcomers to this dynamic research area.
