Intelligent Video Object Classification Scheme using Offline Feature Extraction and Machine Learning based Approach
Classification of objects in video stream is important because of its application in many emerging areas such as visual surveillance, content based video retrieval and indexing etc. The task is far more challenging because the video data is of heavy and highly variable nature. The processing of video data is required to be in real-time. This paper presents a multiclass object classification technique using machine learning approach. Haar-like features are used for training the classifier. The feature calculation is performed using Integral Image representation and we train the classifier offline using a Stage-wise Additive Modeling using a Multiclass Exponential loss function (SAMME). The validity of the method has been verified from the implementation of a real-time human-car detector. Experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately classify objects, in video, into their respective classes. The proposed object classifier works well in outdoor environment in presence of moderate lighting conditions and variable scene background. The proposed technique is compared, with other object classification techniques, based on various performance parameters.
