HYBRIDIZED CONVOLUTIONAL LONG SHORT-TERM MEMORY AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES MODEL FOR VIOLENCE DETECTION IN SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE

There has been widespread use of Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras in both public and private settings to increase security. The bitrate for an FHD (Full High Definition) camera operating at thirty frames per second (30 fps) with moderate compression is eight megabits per second (Mbps). Based on the assumption of this bitrate and a twenty-four-hour recording period, the approximate daily data output of a single FHD camera would then amount to approximately eighty-six Gigab...
