In a processing system, video images of moving objects are processed to model the objects in a 3D computer model. video from multiple cameras is processed to separate objects from their shadows, and to test whether an object is made up of separate objects, which are then modelled separately. Each object is modelled using vertical planes whose bases approximate the object's ground footprint, using ...

On a display panel data can be displayed graphically e.g. speed (a),oil level (b) or alphanumerically e.g. (d) name and frequency of radio station.
