摘要

Detecting rare events, such as fights or falls, in surveillance videos is critical for public safety, but is complicated by data imbalance, occlusions, and complex spatiotemporal dynamics. We present a Hybrid TokenShift-Stochastic Transformer that combines a 3D convolutional backbone with a transformer attention mechanism to address these issues. The token shift module effectively captures the temporal context by shifting feature channels across frames, whereas a stochastic Local Winner-Takes-All (LWTA) layer enhances the sparsity for robust feature selection. The model achieved area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) values of 96.8%, 90.5%, and 95.2% on the Hockey Fight, TNUE-Fight, and UCF-Crime datasets, respectively. Additionally, it outperforms the baseline models in terms of computational cost, demonstrating a 26% reduction in FLOPs while maintaining real-time processing at 15.2ms and utilizing 2.3GB of memory. These advancements make this method highly suitable for real-time surveillance in dynamic environments.
