Video Classification using SIFT

This program uses the SIFT algorithm to classify videos.

Prerequisites

16GB of ram is required if you want to run the program in full (not just doing the demo).

Python3 is required.

The required Python packages can be installed with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

OpenCV and ffmpeg are only required if you want to run the program in full (not just doing the demo).

How to Run

To reproduce the results from the paper.

python3 demo.py

To regenerate all files and rerun the the whole program

python3 init.py -r violentflows -p Violence -m max

-r is the root folder of the dataset.

-p is the positive class name.

-m is the method. (max or mean)

Use on a different dataset

Make sure the structure is as follows.

dataset
    movies
        category1
            movie1.avi
            movie2.avi
            ...
        category2
            movie1.avi
            movie2.avi
            ...

Future Plans

Get ViF to work. Matlab cannot open AVI files on Mac, so I need to investigate a work-around.
