An image processor for processing a temporal sequence of images obtained from one or more image sensors onboard a platform e.g a UAV in order to detect the threat of a collision between the platform and an inbound object. For each image, the image processor identifies features posited to belong to an object and associates the features with ones identified in the preceding image to form pairs of associated features. The pairs of associated features are in turn used for generating and updating tracks that reflect the posited movement of object parts throughout the image sequence. The tracks are evaluated over time to determine whether an impact between the object and the platform is imminent.
