Boosting local feature descriptors for automatic objects classification in traffic scene surveillance
We address the problem of automatic object classification for traffic scene surveillance, which is very challenging for the low resolution videos, large intra-class variations and real-time requirement. In this paper, we propose a new strategy for object classification by boosting different local feature descriptors in motion blobs. We not only evaluate the performance of each local feature descriptor, but also fuse these descriptors to achieve better performance. Numerous experiments are conducted and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach with robustness to noise and variance of view angles, lighting conditions and environments.
