Object Classification

What is object classification?

Object classification is the process of identifying and categorizing objects within an image or video using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In security and surveillance, object classification helps differentiate between people, vehicles, animals, and other objects, reducing false alarms and improving threat detection. Businesses use object classification to enhance security, automate monitoring, and gain insights into customer or traffic patterns. This technology is widely used in retail, transportation, and smart security systems to improve efficiency and accuracy in real-time monitoring.

Why is object classification important?

Object classification is important because it enhances security, improves efficiency, and reduces false alarms by accurately identifying and categorizing objects in video footage. In surveillance, it helps differentiate between people, vehicles, and other objects, allowing security teams to focus on real threats instead of false alerts from animals or environmental factors. Businesses use object classification to automate monitoring, track customer behavior, and optimize operations. By providing real-time insights and improving detection accuracy, object classification strengthens security, streamlines processes, and supports better decision-making across various industries.
