About

Temporal Robust Features (TRoF) comprise a spatiotemporal video content detector and a descriptor developed to present low-memory footprint and small runtime. It was shown to be effective for the tasks of pornography and violence detection. Please refer to both articles for further technical details.

Usage

TRoF executable is available through a docker image, available here. Prior to running it, you have to install docker (available for various OS platforms). Once docker is running, you have to execute the following scripts, in command line:

your-computer$ docker run -ti dmoreira/trof bash

docker-instance# cd TRoF
docker-instance# ./fast_trof_descriptor

Follow the printed usage instructions for running TRoF. The software reads a video input file and outputs float feature vectors, one per line, in the following format:

x y t v1 v2 v3 ... vn

Pleaser refer to either here or here, if you want to add videos to a running TRoF docker instance.
