    Abstract: In an embodiment, focusing an image-capture device such as, e.g., a camera including an optical system displaceable in opposite directions (A, B) via a focusing actuator, is controlled by evaluating a scale factor for the images acquired by the device. An accumulated value of the variations of the scale factor over a time interval (e.g., over a number of frames) is produced and the absolute value thereof is compared against a threshold. If the threshold is reached, which may be indicative of a zoom movement resulting in image de-focusing, a refocusing action is activated by displacing the optical system via the focusing actuator in the one or the other of the opposite focusing directions (A or B) as a function of whether the accumulated value exhibits an increase or a decrease (i.e., whether the accumulated value is positive or negative).

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of detecting moving objects via a moving camera includes receiving a sequence of images from the moving camera; determining optical flow data from the sequence of images; decomposing the optical flow data into global motion related motion vectors and local object related motion vectors; calculating global motion parameters from the global motion related motion vectors; calculating moto-compensated vectors from the local object related motion vectors and the calculated global motion parameters; compensating the local object related motion vectors using the calculated global motion parameters; and clustering the compensated local object related motion vectors to generate a list of detected moving objects.
