Fighting detection is an important issue in security aimed to prevent criminal or undesirable events in public places. Many researches on computer vision techniques have studied to detect the specific event in crowded scenes. In this paper we focus on fighting detection using social-based Interaction Energy Force (IEF). The method uses low level features without object extraction and tracking. The interaction force is modeled using the magnitude and direction of optical flows. A fighting factor is developed under this model to detect fighting events using thresholding method. An energy map of interaction force is also presented to identify the corresponding events. The evaluation is performed using NUSHGA and BEHAVE datasets. The results show the efficiency with high accuracy regardless of various conditions.
