Robust Segmentation and Classification of Moving Objects from Surveillance Video

Abstract

Abstract Object segmentation and classification in the video sequence is a classical and critical problem that is constantly addressed due to vast real-time applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart surveillance, etc. Segmentation and classification of moving objects in video sequences captured from real-time non-constraint sequences is a challenging task. This paper presents a moving object segmentation and classification method for video sequences captured in a real-time environment. The key contributions of the paper include a method to detect and segment motion regions by applying the non-parametric Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistical test in the Spatio-temporal domain and a probabilistic neural network-based classification method to classify the moving objects into various classes. Promising results are obtained by experimentation using challenging PETS and Change Detection datasets. To corroborate the efficacy, a comparative analysis with contemporary method is also performed.
