Abstract: A method of detecting at least one moving vehicle includes receiving (202) image data representing a sequence of image frames over time. The method further includes analyzing (204-206) the image data to identify potential moving vehicles, and comparing (208-212) at least one said potential moving vehicle with a vehicle movement model that defines a trajectory of a potential moving vehicle to determine whether the at least one potential moving vehicle conforms with the model.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and analysing an aircraft landing site during flight is provided. The method includes the steps of using image capture means such as an infrared camera to capture in-flight images of the ground in the region of a possible landing site, using a database of computer modelled images of possible aircraft landing sites mapped to a global co-ordinate reference frame to compare the in-flight images with a modelled image of the possible landing site and optimising correspondence between the two images to obtain an in-flight image optimally mapped to the global co-ordinate reference frame. Thereafter, the landing site which corresponds to the optimally mapped in-flight image is analysed to ascertain the presence of any obstructions such as life forms, vehicles or newly erected buildings thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for detecting cloud features. The method comprises: obtaining image data (e.g. using a camera), the image data defining a plurality of pixels and, for each pixel, a respective luminance value; defining one or more intervals for the luminance values of the pixels; partitioning the image data into one or more image segments (502-508), each respective image segment (502-508) containing pixels having a luminance value in a respective interval; and classifying, as a cloud feature, each image segment (502-508) containing pixels having luminance value greater than or equal to a threshold luminance value (LT).
