Real-Time Moving Object Classification with Automatic Scene Division

Abstract

We address the problem of moving object classification. Our aim is to classify moving objects of traffic scene videos into pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. Instead of supervised learning and manual labeling of large training samples, our classifiers are initialized and refined online automatically. With efficient features extracted and organized, the approach can be real-time and achieve high classification accuracy. Once the view or scene changes detected, the algorithm can automatically refine the classifiers and adapt them to new environments. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.
