The invention relates to the field of automobile classification technologies and discloses a method and
system for classifying automobile types based on a neural network. The method comprises the steps that a plurality of training samples are collected, and the training samples are classified based on the
convolutional neural network, so a classifier containing
label results is obtained; when the automobile types are classified, a
video image to be detected is read in, a motion object in the image is detected, and sub-block
processing is performed on the image according to the motion object; afterwards, classification
processing is performed on each block of image through the classifier, so a detection result is obtained. Accordingly, a
neural network system can be constructed easily and conveniently to serve as the classifier, the
system is trained by using different automobile samples, the
system is made to automatically study complex class conditional density of the samples, and therefore the problems caused by class conditional density functions of artificial
hypothesis are avoided. Compared with an existing automobile type classification method, the method for classifying the automobile types based on the
convolutional neural network has the advantages that the accuracy of classification is improved, and the classification speed is increased.
