Claim One:
1. An image processing method comprising: using a processor-based image acquisition device; acquiring a main image of a scene and two or more further images approximately of a same scene within a time period including said acquiring of said main image and times proximately before and after said acquiring of said main image; determining one or more regions of interest in said main image and said two or more further images, including temporarily storing said two or more images in a temporary storage directly from an image sensor, locating said one or more regions of interest within each of said two or more images and predicting said one or more regions of interest within said main image based on the locating within the two or more temporarily stored images; analyzing said one or more regions of interest; and determining to initiate a further action based on said analyzing of at least one region of interest, including applying a model to said at least one region of interest; analyzing one or more parameters of said model for said at least one region of interest to provide an indication that a characteristic of said at least one region of interest has at least a threshold value; segmenting from said main image or said two or more further images, or both, said at least one region of interest; comparing said at least one region of interest with at least one stored profile region also having at least said threshold value of said characteristic; and initiating said further action based on said analyzing of said at least one region of interest and on said comparing.
