Visual Timelines of Police Encounters in Body-Worn Camera Footage: Operational Context and Activity Cataloging for Training and Analysis in OpenBWC
Law enforcement agencies are accumulating vast amounts of body-worn camera (BWC) footage. However, this remains operationally opaque. That is, analysts and trainers still have to invest considerable time watching full-length videos to pinpoint the start of key encounters and identify the points where activity shifts to something more physically intense. We present an approach to process BWC video into a time-aligned sequence of fixed-length 10-second windows, processed and labeled using a privacy-conscious protocol. Each window is labeled with two dimensions of information: (i) the operational context of the window and (ii) the level of motion intensity within the window, with low-evidenc...
