An object classifying and tracking method is applied to an image stream acquired by a surveillance camera for object identification. The object classifying and tracking method includes acquiring a first classify feature and a first dependent feature of a first target object in a first image of the image stream and a second classify feature and a second dependent feature of a second target object in a second image of the image stream, acquiring a dependent degree of the first classify feature and the second classify feature from a memory, transforming the second dependent feature via the dependent degree, and analyzing the first dependent feature and the transformed second dependent feature to determine whether the first target object and the second target object are the same object.
