Abstract
A system for detecting and tracking an object that is exhibiting an anomalous behavior from a helicopter is disclosed. The system includes a search light connected to the helicopter; a camera; and a processor including an object detection module coupled to the search light and the camera, the object detection module being configured to receive a plurality of images from the camera, compare the plurality of images against a pattern database, determine the object is exhibiting the anomalous behavior and instruct the search light to point toward the object.

A system for detecting and tracking an object that is exhibiting an anomalous behavior from a helicopter, comprising:
- a search light connected to the helicopter;
- a camera;
- and
- a processor including an object detection module coupled to the search light and the camera,
- wherein the object detection module is configured to receive a plurality of images from the camera, compare the plurality of images against a pattern database, determine the object is exhibiting the anomalous behavior and instruct the search light to point toward the object.
A method for detecting and tracking an object that is exhibiting an anomalous behavior from a helicopter, comprising:
- orienting a camera toward a region of interest;
- receiving, via a processor including an object detection module, a plurality of images from the camera;
- comparing the plurality of images against a pattern database included within the object detection module;
- determining, via the object detection module, the object is exhibiting the anomalous behavior;
- and
- instructing, via the object detection module, a search light to point toward the object.
