Intelligent video analysis tools have advanced significantly, with numerous cameras installed in various locations to enhance security and monitor unusual events. However, the effective detection and monitoring of violent incidents often depend on manual effort and time-consuming analysis of recorded footage, which can delay timely interventions. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful approach for extracting critical features essential to identifying and classifying violent behavior, enabling the development of accurate and scalable models across diverse domains. This study presents the Int.2D-3D-CNN architecture, which integrates a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) and 3D-CNNs for video-based violence recognition. Compared to traditional 2D-CNN and 3D-CNN models, the proposed Int.2D-3D-CNN model presents improved performance on the Hockey Fight, Movie, and Violent Flows datasets. The architecture captures both static and dynamic characteristics of violent scenes by integrating spatial and temporal information. Specifically, the 2D-CNN component employs lightweight MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2 to extract spatial features from individual frames, while a simplified 3D-CNN module with a single 3D convolution layer captures motion and temporal dependencies across sequences. Evaluation results highlight the robustness of the proposed model in accurately distinguishing violent from non-violent videos under diverse conditions. The Int.2D-3D-CNN model achieved accuracies of 98%, 100%, and 98% on the Hockey Fight, Movie, and Violent Flows datasets, respectively, indicating strong potential for violence recognition applications.
