1. A method comprising:
calculating an information content of a section of a current image of a series of images of a video signal, the video signal having to be fed to an algorithm for calculating and indicating detections of objects in the video signal,
determining whether the calculated information content of the section of the current image is larger than or equal to a threshold value, or not, and,
when it is determined that the calculated information content is not larger than or equal to the threshold value, suppressing the calculation and indication of detections of objects for the section of at least the current image or the current image and further images of the series of images.
