Object detection
First Claim
1. Object detection apparatus in which images from an ordered series of images are processed to detect objects, each image having an associated image period, the detection of objects in a whole image requiring a set of processing tasks to be carried out, said apparatus comprising:
- logic to execute subsets of said set of processing tasks during respective image periods associated with a group of two or more images from said ordered series;
said subsets being arranged so that substantially all of said set of processing tasks are carried out in the course of the image periods associated with said group of images and that each such task is carried out with respect to at least one respective image in said group of images.

Abstract
Object detection apparatus in which images from an ordered series of images are processed to detect objects, each image having an associated image period, the detection of objects in a whole image requiring a set of processing tasks to be carried out comprises means for executing subsets of the set of processing tasks during respective image periods associated with a group of two or more images from the ordered series; the subsets being arranged so that substantially all of the set of processing tasks are carried out in the course of the image periods associated with the group of images and that each such task is carried out with respect to at least one respective image in the group of images.

26. A method of object detection, in which a test image from an ordered series of images is processed to detect objects in that image, the detection of objects in a whole image requiring a set of processing tasks to be carried out, said method comprising the step of:
executing a subset of said set of processing tasks with respect to said test image, said subset being arranged as part of a sequence over a group including said test image and at least one other image in said ordered series so that substantially all of said set of processing tasks are carried out with respect to at least one image in said group. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
