Claim 6:
7. A method of monitoring an external environment of an aircraft, the method comprising:
receiving, with a processor, image data captured by a camera disposed within an aircraft door of the aircraft such that a wheel of a main landing gear of the aircraft is within a field of view of the camera;
analyzing, with the processor, the captured image data by:
identifying, with the processor, a region within the captured image data that corresponds to the wheel of the main landing gear;
monitoring, with the processor, the wheel of the main landing gear based on the captured image data corresponding to the wheel of the main landing gear;
producing an output associated with the wheel of the main landing gear based upon the captured image data;
accessing pixel coordinates of captured image data associated with the wheel of the main landing gear;
causing a computer-readable memory to store the pixel coordinates corresponding to the wheel of the main landing gear;
comparing the pixel coordinates corresponding to the wheel of the main landing gear during operation with the pixel coordinates corresponding to the wheel of the main landing gear; and

outputting the captured image data for display at a display device disposed within an interior of the aircraft.
