Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
receiving a first image captured by a first camera of a vehicle at a first time, wherein the first camera includes a field of view external to the vehicle;
identifying a first location of an object within the first image;
receiving a second image captured by the first camera at a second time, where the second time is after the first time;
identifying a second location of the object within the second image;
determining, based on a direction of travel of the vehicle, a first vector representing a first directional difference between the first location of the object in the first image and an expected location of the object in the second image;
comparing the first vector to a second vector representing a second directional difference between the first location of the object in the first image and the second location of the object in the second image;
calculating a difference between the first vector and the second vector;
receiving a third image captured by the first camera of the vehicle;
locating a first feature associated with a first portion of the vehicle in the third image;
receiving a fourth image captured by the first camera;
locating the first feature associated with the first portion of the vehicle in the fourth image;
calculating a first distance between the first location of the first feature in the third image and the second location of the first feature in the fourth image; and
performing, based on the difference or the first distance being greater than a threshold amount, an action.
