Datasets / Violence Detection Dataset
Violence Detection Dataset v1 A fight is not a hug.Teach your model the difference.
Synthetic fight and violence detection dataset, with a commercial licence and no real people in the data.
Free sample and datasheet. Licence warranty: 30 days after delivery.
What is the Violence Detection Dataset?
The Xentim Violence Detection Dataset is a synthetic dataset for training skeleton-based detectors of fights in CCTV footage. It holds 12,540 sequences and 2.84 million labelled frames, with 2 to 6 people per event, multi-person keypoints, roles, actions, phases and contact events, plus hard negatives that make up about 45% of the set.
Fewer unwanted alarms.
Hugs, handshakes, high fives, dancing and crowds sit next to real violence in the same set.
Who did what to whom.
Roles, actions, phases and contact events are labelled per person, not only per clip.
A licence you can ship on.
Standard and Enterprise cover commercial use. RWF-2000, a widely used research set, needs approval from its authors first.

Can I use RWF-2000 in a commercial product?
Not without approval. Its repository says the database is not allowed for commercial purposes without approval from the SMIIP Lab.
What is a hard negative in violence detection?
A hard negative is harmless behaviour that looks like a fight to a detector, such as a hug, a high five or two people dancing. Training on them helps reduce unwanted alarms.
How many people are in each event?
Between 2 and 6.
Does it include video?
No. The dataset holds skeleton data, with no RGB images or video.
Can I test it before buying?
Yes. Each dataset has a free sample and a datasheet, so you can check the format and labels on your own model first.
How do I order?
Choose a licence and send us your order. We reply with an order form and invoice, you pay by bank transfer, SEPA or card, and we send a secure download link within 3 business days of payment.
What if the data does not match the datasheet?
Tell us within 30 days of delivery. We correct the dataset or, if we cannot, refund the fee against deletion of all copies.
