Vehicle classification for civilian and non-civilian applications: A survey

Abstract

The ability to classify a vehicle is of extreme importance for both civilian and non-civilian applications. For non-civilian applications the state-of-the-art leaves much to be desired, as hierarchal and real-time classification have yet to be truly investigated. This paper provides a survey of the current state-of-the-art in vehicle classification and provides recommendations for future research areas to advance the current capabilities.
