Abstract: The invention provides a method of and system for a method of monitoring an object using thermal video data. The method comprises capturing thermal video images of a scene comprising the object using one or more thermal imaging cameras, and outputting a thermal video data stream to a processing apparatus. In the processing apparatus, the thermal video data stream is processed by performing a multivariate analysis of the thermal video data stream to generate one or more models of the behaviour of the object. The one or more models includes modelling of temporal development of a thermal signature of the object, and modelling of covariation of the thermal signature between different parts or regions of the scene. The processing comprises establishing one or more normal states of the object using observed data from the thermal video data stream and the one or more models, and comparing observed data from the thermal video data stream with the one or more normal states of the object to determine whether the object is a known condition or an unknown condition. An output signal from the processing apparatus if the object is determined to be in an unknown condition.
