Abstract

This proposal outlines the development of a Video Classification system for detecting violent content in cartoons using deep learning techniques. The project aims to enhance content moderation by automatically identifying and classifying violent scenes in cartoon videos. By leveraging convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the system will accurately detect violent content, ensuring safe viewing experiences for children. The integration with APIs using Flask will ensure seamless interaction between the classification system and various content platforms.

Introduction

Cartoons are widely consumed by children, and it is crucial to ensure that the content they view is appropriate for their age. The presence of violent scenes in cartoons can negatively impact young viewers, necessitating effective content moderation. Traditional manual methods of content review are time-consuming and prone to human error. This project proposes the development of a Video Classification system that uses deep learning techniques to automatically detect violent scenes in cartoon videos, providing a scalable and efficient solution for content moderation.

Problem Statement

Manual review of cartoon videos for violent content is labor-intensive and often unreliable due to human error and subjective judgment. There is a need for an automated system that can accurately and efficiently detect violent scenes in cartoons to ensure safe viewing experiences for children.

2. Data Collection Gather a diverse dataset of cartoon videos from various sources, labeled with violent and non-violent scenes.

3. Algorithm Selection Evaluate and select appropriate deep learning algorithms, such as CNNs for spatial feature extraction and RNNs for temporal analysis.

4. Development Implement the video classification system using Python, integrating deep learning models, and develop APIs with Flask.

5. Testing Perform unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing to validate the system’s performance.

6. Evaluation Analyze the system’s accuracy, detection rate, and processing time through feedback and performance metrics.

Conclusion

The proposed Video Classification system aims to enhance content moderation by accurately detecting violent content in cartoon videos using deep learning techniques. By automating the detection process, the system will provide a scalable and efficient solution for ensuring safe viewing experiences for children. The successful implementation of this project will demonstrate the potential of deep learning in improving content moderation and safety in digital media.
