ABSTRACT:
Moving objects (36) are detected by processing images through a spatial filter (42) and positional shifter (46), which shifts the image by an amount reflecting a line of sight velocity hypothesis of the objects. The images are stacked together by a stacker 48, causing the intensity of an object moving at the line of sight velocity hypothesis to increase, and other objects to be blurred. The stacked image is spatially filtered (50) to remove the blurred objects and linear artifacts, and the moving objects (36) of interest are selected according to their increased intensities. In a practical system, the images are processed with a range of velocity hypotheses to identify both the object and the true line of sight velocity.
