Abstract
A number of systems and methods for analyzing electronic image signals are provided which include processing the image signal as one or more cells, each comprising a plurality of pixels. For consecutive frames of the monitored image, a set of pointers are generated, each containing a value related to the detail contents of the image. The pointers are used to address a memory array, each pointer corresponding to a row in the memory array and the content of each pointer pointing to a memory element in the corresponding row. For successive frames, the value of each memory element addressed by a pointer is updated.
