From the images obtained from a fixed camera in the protected areas, an image processing based system has been developed for detecting and counting wild animals which are added value with hunting tourism to the country's economy. Through this developed system, it is aimed to both determine and count the wild animal species with high performance. For this, firstly, using gaussian mixed models (GMM) technique, the background images were extracted from the image scenes coming from real-time photocapture videotapes. In a real-time complex image scene that is instantaneous in nature where there is a lot of mobility, developed field test, attribute test and color test criteria are used to determine the targeted wild animal. In the experimental studies, 4 species of wild animals including deer, fox, wolf and wild horses were detected with 100% accuracy. The software's processing time per video frame is 0.242 seconds. With the developed methods, it has been seen that species determination for wild animal inventory can be done with less cost camera systems and computer software without human power with 100% success rate. The difference from the wild animal classification studies in the literature is the catching of the 100% recognition rate targeted by wild animal identification process with simpler mathematical operations and color factor developed without using ready-made algorithms on object recognition. The wild animal recognition algorithms we use in our work are obviously to be the infrastructure for dynamic object detection studies in computer vision applications and all other object recognition will increase the performance ratio in the studies %K Hayvan izleme ve s£¿n£¿fland£¿rma %K Vah£¿i hayvanlar s£¿n£¿fland£¿rmas£¿ %K G£¿r¨¹nt¨¹ i£¿leme %K Nesne tan£¿ma %K G£¿r¨¹nt¨¹ s£¿n£¿fland£¿rma %U http://dergipark.org.tr/pajes/issue/44767/556897
