Abstract
An object detection apparatus comprising a camera having video output comprising frames; and a digital video processor configured to receive the video output from the camera, detect and track a blob in the frames to determine a trajectory for the blob and trigger an alert message if the trajectory of the blob is characteristic of an object to be detected. The digital video processor may detect and classify the object as a leak, and provide an alert or alarm. The digital video processor may detect and classify the object as a bird, and provide a bird report. A weather station may be combined with the digital video processor to receive input from the weather station and take the input from the weather station into account in determining whether to trigger an alert.
