Moving Object Assessment System and Method

A method and system for use in monitoring a search area includes the provision of object path data representative of at least one object path of one or more moving objects in the search area. Defined normal and/or abnormal object path feature models are provided based on one or more characteristics associated with normal or abnormal object paths of moving objects in the search area. The feature models may be based on a clustering process. The object path data is compared to the one or more defined normal and/or abnormal object path feature models for use in determining whether the object path is normal or abnormal.
