Classifying the movements of objects detected from a video feed is a key module to achieve a cognitive surveillance system. Machine learning techniques have been heavily proposed to solve the problem of movement classification. However, they still suffer from various limitations such as their limited ability to learn from streamed data. Recently, Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) theory has introduced a new computational learning model, Cortical Learning Algorithm (CLA), inspired from the neocortex, which offers a better understanding of how our brains process temporal information. This paper proposes a novel biologically-inspired movement classification algorithm based on the HTM theory for video surveillance applications. The proposed algorithm has been tested using twenty-three videos, from VIRAT dataset, and an average accuracy of 85% was achieved.
