Detection violent behaviors: A survey
Violence detection behavior is a particular problem regarding the great problem action recognition. In recent years, the detection and recognition of violence has been studied for several applications, namely in surveillance. In this paper, we conducted a recent systematic review of the literature on this subject, covering a selection of various researched papers. The selected works were classified into three main approaches for violence detection: video, audio, and multimodal audio and video. Our analysis provides a roadmap to guide future research to design automatic violence detection systems. Techniques related to the extraction and description of resources to represent behavior are also reviewed. Classification methods and structures for behavior modelling are also provided.European Structural and Investment Funds in the FEDER component, through the Operational Competitiveness and Internationalization Programme (COMPETE 2020) [Project n ∘ 039334; Funding Reference: POCI-01-0247-FEDER-039334].

Spatio-temporal action localization with Deep Learning
Dissertação de mestrado em Engenharia InformáticaThe system that detects and identifies human activities are named human action recognition.
On the video approach, human activity is classified into four different categories, depending
on the complexity of the steps and the number of body parts involved in the action, namely
gestures, actions, interactions, and activities, which is challenging for video Human action
recognition to capture valuable and discriminative features because of the human body’s
variations. So, deep learning techniques have provided practical applications in multiple fields
of signal processing, usually surpassing traditional signal processing on a large scale.
Recently, several applications, namely surveillance, human-computer interaction, and video
recovery based on its content, have studied violence’s detection and recognition. In recent
years there has been a rapid growth in the production and consumption of a wide variety of
video data due to the popularization of high quality and relatively low-price video devices.
Smartphones and digital cameras contributed a lot to this factor. At the same time, there are
about 300 hours of video data updates every minute on YouTube. Along with the growing
production of video data, new technologies such as video captioning, answering video surveys,
and video-based activity/event detection are emerging every day. From the video input data,
the detection of human activity indicates which activity is contained in the video and locates
the regions in the video where the activity occurs.
This dissertation has conducted an experiment to identify and detect violence with spatial action localization, adapting a public dataset for effect. The idea was used an annotated
dataset of general action recognition and adapted only for violence detection.O sistema que deteta e identifica as atividades humanas é denominado reconhecimento da
ação humana. Na abordagem por vÃdeo, a atividade humana é classificada em quatro
categorias diferentes, dependendo da complexidade das etapas e do número de partes do
corpo envolvidas na ação, a saber, gestos, ações, interações e atividades, o que é desafiador
para o reconhecimento da ação humana do vÃdeo para capturar caracterÃsticas valiosas e
discriminativas devido às variações do corpo humano. Portanto, as técnicas de deep learning
forneceram aplicações práticas em vários campos de processamento de sinal, geralmente
superando o processamento de sinal tradicional em grande escala.
Recentemente, várias aplicações, nomeadamente na vigilância, interação humano computador e recuperação de vÃdeo com base no seu conteúdo, estudaram a deteção e o
reconhecimento da violência. Nos últimos anos, tem havido um rápido crescimento na
produção e consumo de uma ampla variedade de dados de vÃdeo devido à popularização de
dispositivos de vÃdeo de alta qualidade e preços relativamente baixos. Smartphones e cameras
digitais contribuÃram muito para esse fator. Ao mesmo tempo, há cerca de 300 horas de
atualizações de dados de vÃdeo a cada minuto no YouTube. Junto com a produção crescente
de dados de vÃdeo, novas tecnologias, como legendagem de vÃdeo, respostas a pesquisas de
vÃdeo e deteção de eventos / atividades baseadas em vÃdeo estão surgindo todos os dias. A
partir dos dados de entrada de vÃdeo, a deteção de atividade humana indica qual atividade
está contida no vÃdeo e localiza as regiões no vÃdeo onde a atividade ocorre.
Esta dissertação conduziu uma experiência para identificar e detetar violência com localização
espacial, adaptando um dataset público para efeito. A ideia foi usada um conjunto de dados
anotado de reconhecimento de ações gerais e adaptá-la apenas para deteção de violência

Senseable Spaces: from a theoretical perspective to the application in augmented environments
Grazie all’ enorme diffusione di dispositivi senzienti nella vita di tutti i giorni, nell’ ultimo decennio abbiamo assistito ad un cambio definitivo nel modo in cui gli utenti interagiscono con lo spazio circostante.
Viene coniato il termine Spazio Sensibile, per descrivere quegli spazi in grado di fornire servizi contestuali agli utenti, misurando e analizzando le dinamiche che in esso avvengono, e di reagire conseguentemente a questo continuo flusso di dati bidirezionale.
La ricerca è stata condotta abbracciando diversi domini di applicazione, le cui singole esigenze hanno reso necessario testare il concetto di Spazi Sensibili in diverse declinazioni, mantenendo al centro della ricerca l’utente, con la duplice accezione di end-user e manager.
Molteplici sono i contributi rispetto allo stato dell’ arte. Il concetto di Spazio Sensibile è stato calato nel settore dei Beni Culturali, degli Spazi Pubblici, delle Geosciences e del Retail. I casi studio nei musei e nella archeologia dimostrano come l’ utilizzo della Realtà Aumentata possa essere sfruttata di fronte a un dipinto o in outdoor per la visualizzazione di modelli complessi, In ambito urbano, il monitoraggio di dati generati dagli utenti ha consentito di capire le dinamiche di un evento di massa, durante il quale le stesse persone fruivano di servizi contestuali. Una innovativa applicazione di Realtà Aumentata è stata come servizio per facilitare l’ ispezione di fasce tampone lungo i fiumi, standardizzando flussi di dati e modelli provenienti da un Sistema Informativo Territoriale. Infine, un robusto sistema di indoor localization è stato istallato in ambiente retail, per scopi classificazione dei percorsi e per determinare le potenzialità di un punto vendita.
La tesi è inoltre una dimostrazione di come Space Sensing e Geomatica siano discipline complementari: la geomatica consente di acquisire e misurare dati geo spaziali e spazio temporali a diversa scala, lo Space Sensing utilizza questi dati per fornire servizi all’ utente precisi e contestuali.Given the tremendous growth of ubiquitous services in our daily lives, during the last few decades we have witnessed a definitive change in the way users' experience their surroundings.
At the current state of art, devices are able to sense the environment and users’ location, enabling them to experience improved digital services, creating synergistic loop between the use of the technology, and the use of the space itself.
We coined the term Senseable Space, to define the kinds of spaces able to provide users with contextual services, to measure and analyse their dynamics and to react accordingly, in a seamless exchange of information.
Following the paradigm of Senseable Spaces as the main thread, we selected a set of experiences carried out in different fields; central to this investigation there is of course the user, placed in the dual roles of end-user and manager.
The main contribution of this thesis lies in the definition of this new paradigm, realized in the following domains: Cultural Heritage, Public Open Spaces, Geosciences and Retail.
For the Cultural Heritage panorama, different pilot projects have been constructed from creating museum based installations to developing mobile applications for archaeological settings. Dealing with urban areas, app-based services are designed to facilitate the route finding in a urban park and to provide contextual information in a city festival. We also outlined a novel application to facilitate the on-site inspection by risk managers thanks to the use of Augmented Reality services. Finally, a robust indoor localization system has been developed, designed to ease customer profiling in the retail sector.
The thesis also demonstrates how Space Sensing and Geomatics are complementary to one another, given the assumption that the branches of Geomatics cover all the different scales of data collection, whilst Space Sensing gives one the possibility to provide the services at the correct location, at the correct time
