1. Object detection apparatus in which regions of a test image from an ordered series of images are compared with data indicative of the presence of an object;
- the apparatus comprising;
a change detector operable to detect regions of the test image which are substantially unchanged with respect to a previous image in the series; and
an object detector operable not to perform object detection on regions of the test image identified by the change detector as being substantially unchanged.

21. A method of object detection, in which an image region of a test image from an ordered series of images are compared with data indicative of the presence of an object;
- the method comprising the steps of;
detecting regions of the test image which are substantially unchanged with respect to a previous image in the series; and
performing object detection on the test image apart from regions of the test image identified by the change detector as being substantially unchanged. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
