description Recognizing the action of plastic bag taking from CCTV video footage represents a highly specialized and niche challenge within the broader domain of action video classification. To address this challenge, our paper introduces a novel benchmark video dataset specifically curated for the task of identifying the action of grabbing a plastic bag. Additionally, we propose and evaluate three distinct baseline approaches. The first approach employs a combination of handcrafted feature extraction techniques and a sequential classification model to analyze motion and object-related features. The second approach leverages a multiple-frame <i>convolutional neural network</i> (CNN) to exploit temporal and spatial patterns in the video data. The third approach explores a 3D CNN-based deep learning model, which is capable of processing video data as volumetric inputs. To assess the performance of these methods, we conduct a comprehensive comparative study, demonstrating the strengths and limitations of each approach within this specialized domain.
