Abstract
A method for masking of objects in a video stream, the method comprising: acquiring a video stream; detecting an object in the video stream; determining whether the detected object belongs to a foreground of the video stream indicative of moving objects or to a background of the video stream indicative of static objects; classifying the detected object to be of a specific type using a first classifier if the detected object is determined to belong to the foreground, and using a second classifier if the detected object is determined to belong to the background, the first classifier being different from the second classifier, and if the detected object is classified as being of the specific type of object, masking the object in the video stream.
