A system and a method for real-time detection of a moving object on a travel path in a geographical area are provided. The system and method may also be used to track such a moving object in real-time. The system includes an image capturing device for capturing successive images of a geographical area, a geographical reference map comprising contextual information of the geographical area, and a processor configured to calculate differences between successive images to detect, in real-time, a moving object on the travel path. The method includes the following steps: capturing successive images of the geographical area using the image capturing device; geo-registering at least some of the successive images relative to the geographical reference map; and calculating differences between the successive images to detect, in real-time, an object. |
