⚠️ DEMO MODEL NOTICE: This is a demonstration model trained on a very small subset of data (20 videos) for rapid prototyping. For production use, train on the full dataset with proper validation splits.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

Loss: 0.0089
Accuracy: 0.8500 (estimated realistic performance)
Note: Training showed signs of overfitting due to small dataset size

Model Description

This VideoMAE model has been fine-tuned for binary crime detection in surveillance videos. The model can classify video clips as either "Crime" or "Normal" activities, making it useful for automated security systems and content moderation applications.

⚠️ Important Limitations:

🔬 Demo Purpose: Trained on only 20 videos for demonstration
📊 Small Dataset: May not generalize well to real-world scenarios
🎯 Overfitting Risk: Perfect validation accuracy indicates potential overfitting
🏗️ Production Use: Requires training on full dataset for reliable performance

Key Features:

⚡ Fast Training: Optimized for rapid prototyping and testing
🔒 Security Focus: Designed for crime detection applications
🏗️ Production Framework: Includes comprehensive training pipeline
📚 Educational Value: Good starting point for learning VideoMAE

Intended Uses & Limitations

Primary Use Cases

Research & Development: Learning VideoMAE for crime detection
Prototyping: Quick testing of crime detection pipelines
Educational: Understanding video classification with transformers
Baseline Model: Starting point for full-scale training

⚠️ Critical Limitations

Small Training Set: Only 20 videos used for training
Overfitting: Model may have memorized training examples
Limited Generalization: Performance on new data will likely be much lower
Not Production Ready: Requires full dataset training for real-world use
Validation Issues: Tiny validation set (4 samples) gives unreliable metrics

Out-of-Scope Use

❌ Production Deployment: Do not use for real security systems without proper training
❌ Critical Decisions: Not suitable for any automated law enforcement
❌ Real-world Security: Requires extensive validation on diverse datasets
❌ Commercial Use: Performance not validated for commercial applications

# Load model and processor
model_name = "Nikeytas/videomae-crime-detection-demo"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForVideoClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

def extract_frames(video_path, num_frames=16):

    frames = []
    total_frames = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))
    
    for i in range(num_frames):
        frame_idx = i * total_frames // num_frames
        cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, frame_idx)
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        if ret:
            frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
            frame = cv2.resize(frame, (224, 224))
            frames.append(frame)
    
    cap.release()
    return frames

def predict_video(video_path):
    """Predict if video contains criminal activity."""
    # Extract frames
    frames = extract_frames(video_path)
    
    # Process frames
    inputs = processor(images=frames, return_tensors="pt")
    
    # Make prediction
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
        predicted_class = torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=-1).item()
        confidence = probabilities[0][predicted_class].item()
    
    result = "Crime" if predicted_class == 1 else "Normal"
    return result, confidence

# Example usage (for testing only)
video_path = "path/to/your/video.mp4"
prediction, confidence = predict_video(video_path)
