Abstract

In this article, the authors propose a system which can identify and track animals. Identification and tracking of animals has got plenty of applications like, avoiding dangerous animal intrusion into residential areas, avoiding animal-vehicle collisions, and behavioral study of animals and so on. Previously, biologists studied videos to detect and identify animals, a time consuming and difficult task. This requires a fully automatic or computer-assisted system to identify and track animals by video. Initially, frames are extracted from the given video. Segmentation is done to the extracted frames using a maximum similarity-based region merging algorithm. Then, the mean shift-based algorithm is used to track the animals. Finally, the animals are classified using Gabor features and a KNN classifier. Experimentation has been conducted on a data set containing more than 150 videos with 15 different classes.
