TriFusion's power comes from its intelligent combination of specialized AI models, each optimized for specific aspects of multimodal safety monitoring. This document explains how each component contributes to the overall system.
Scene understanding and threat classification through vision-language alignment.

# Scene classification example
scene_classes = [
"normal living room", "violent confrontation", "person falling",
"medical emergency", "peaceful activity", "threatening situation"
]
# CLIP analyzes the scene

Detailed image captioning and description for comprehensive visual understanding.
- Architecture: Vision Transformer + BERT-based language model

"aggressive_movement": detect_aggression(pose_landmarks, velocity),
"distress_position": detect_distress_pose(pose_landmarks),
"unusual_posture": detect_abnormal_posture(pose_landmarks)
}- Velocity Tracking: Monitors speed of body part movements
- Acceleration Detection: Identifies sudden changes indicating emergencies
- Posture Classification: Recognizes normal vs. distress positions
