Abstract
A system and method detects the intent and/or motivation of two or more persons or other animate objects in a video scene. In one embodiment, the system forms a blob of the two or more persons, draws a bounding box around said blob, calculates an entropy value for said blob, and compares that entropy value to a threshold to determine if the two or more persons are involved in a fight or other altercation.
