    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for structural fixed pattern noise reduction in a video stream. A method may include, for each target pixel in a first image frame, defining a first target pixel patch, and defining a first search area comprising the first target pixel patch; for each pixel in the first search area, comparing a first pixel patch around the pixel with the first target pixel patch, and using the pixel when calculating an average for the target pixel. The method may include, in a second image frame, localizing a second target pixel, and defining a second search area comprising the second target pixel; for each pixel in the second search area, comparing a second pixel patch around the pixel of the second search area with the first target pixel patch, and using the pixel in the second search area when calculating an average for the target pixel.

    Abstract: A method for pseudo coloring of a digital single-channel image is disclosed. The method comprises acquiring a single-channel image having an intensity distribution, forming a first channel of a multi-channel image by performing a first histogram equalization of the intensity distribution, forming a second channel of the multi-channel image by performing a second, different, histogram equalization of the intensity distribution, wherein the first channel and the second channel of the multi-channel image represent different components of a color model. An arrangement for providing a pseudo coloring of a digital single-channel image is also disclosed, and a monitoring thermal camera system comprising such an arrangement.

    Abstract: A method for detecting an object crossing event at a predetermined first line in a scene captured by a motion video camera is disclosed. The method comprises determining from images of the scene captured by the motion video camera if an object image crosses the predetermined first line, calculating a size value relating to the size of the object image crossing the predetermined first line, setting a line distance value to a value calculated from the distance between a contact point of the object with the predetermined first line and a nearby point on a predetermined second line, and generating an object crossing event signal if a relation between the calculated size value and the line distance is within a predetermined range.
