Abstract
A method of image processing for finding a target in a scene includes receiving a series of images from a sensor and computing a background relative velocity in the series of images. The method further includes estimating a hypothesized target relative velocity of the target in the series of images. The method further includes computing a target revisit time based on a difference of the target relative velocity and the background relative velocity. The method further includes adjusting one or more of a frame capture rate or a frame processing rate based on the target revisit time.
