Abstract
Object classification in videos is an important step in many applications such as abnormal event detection in video surveillance, traffic analysis is urban scenes and behavior control in crowded locations. In this work, propose a framework for moving object classification in farfield videos. Much works have been dedicated to accomplish this task. We overview existing works and combine several techniques to implement a real time object classifier with offline training phase. We follow three main steps to classify objects in steady background videos : background subtraction, object tracking and classification. We measure accuracy of our classifier by experiments done using the PETS 2009 dataset.
