METHOD FOR DETECTING TARGETS ON THE GROUND AND IN MOTION, IN A VIDEO STREAM ACQUIRED WITH AN AIRBORNE CAMERA
First Claim
1. A method for detecting targets on the ground and in motion, within a video stream that is acquired by an airborne digital camera, including the steps of:
- processing a plurality of successive frames of the video stream in a manner so as to stabilize the frames as if they had been acquired by a fixed camera and,comparing two processed frames, temporally separated one from the other, in a manner so as to identify a pixel zone in motion from one processed frame to the other, the pixel zone in motion constituting a detected target.

Abstract
A target detection method for detecting targets on the ground and in motion, in a video stream that is acquired by an airborne digital camera, which includes the steps of: processing a plurality of successive frames in the video frame in a manner so as to stabilize the frames as if they had been acquired by a fixed camera; and comparing two processed frames, temporally separated from the other, so as to identify the zones of pixels in motion from one processed frame to the other, one zone of pixels in motion constituting a detected target.
