	abstract =	{We have taken a set of well-understood algorithms and
	combined them in a commercial application: train-spotting. An
	autonomous train-spotting system requires expertise in active vision,
	tracking and model-based recognition. Results are demonstrated from
	real image sequences showing that BARRY can indeed perform its task
	satisfactorily for many hours without the sustenance that human
	spotters require (flasks of hot tea, sandwiches etc.). The maximum
	train velocity is at present limited, but we demonstrate theoretically
	that the system could in principle operate with trains travelling at
	relativistic speeds, with obvious application to future space-based
	spotting.},
