A method includes receiving a first image that is captured at a first time. The method also includes detecting a location of a first object in the first image. The method also includes determining a region of interest based at least partially upon the location of the first object in the first image. The method also includes receiving a second image that is captured at a second time. The method also includes identifying the region of interest in the second image. The method also includes detecting a location of a second object in a portion of the second image that is outside of the region of interest.

System and method for detecting and tracking an object

A method includes identifying a first image. The method also includes determining a distribution based at least partially upon an intensity of each pixel in the first image. The method also includes determining that the distribution is bimodal. The method also includes dividing the first image to produce a second image in response to determining that the distribution is bimodal. The second image includes a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels. The method also includes determining that a horizon is defined between the plurality of first pixels and the plurality of second pixels.

System and method for performing sky-segmentation

A method includes identifying a first image that is captured at a first time. The method also includes segmenting the first image into a plurality of first image portions. The method also includes identifying a second image that is captured at a second time. The method also includes segmenting the second image into a plurality of second image portions. The method also includes comparing one of the plurality of first image portions and a corresponding one of the plurality of second image portions. The method also includes determining a difference between the first image and the second image based at least partially upon the comparison. The method also includes transforming the first image into a transformed first image based at least partially upon the difference.

Moving object detection from a moving camera

A method includes receiving a first image. The method also includes detecting a plurality of edges in the first image. The method also includes connecting the edges. The method also includes identifying a contour in the first image based at least partially upon the connected edges. The method also includes determining a convex hull of the contour. The method also includes generating a second image comprising the convex hull.
