Zusammenfassung:	A camera array (4) and method for capturing and processing images of an area of terrain, the method comprising: for each of a plurality of time-steps within a time period, using each of a plurality of cameras (10) in a camera array (4), generating an image of a respective portion of terrain (32), wherein the cameras (10) in the camera array (4) have substantially fixed positions relative to each other, and the portions of terrain (32) are such that the whole of the area of terrain has been imaged by the end of the time period; selecting a subset of the images such that the whole of the terrain is covered by the portions of the terrain (32) in the images in the subset; and for an image not in the subset, if an object of interest is in that image, extracting a sub-image containing the object from that image.
