Method for target geo-referencing using video analytics

摘要

A method to geo-rcfcrcncc a target between subsystems of a targeting system is provided. The method includes receiving a target image formed at a sender subsystem location, generating target descriptors for a first selected portion of the target image, sending target location information and the target descriptors from a sender subsystem of the targeting system to a receiver subsystem of the targeting system, pointing an optical axis of a camera of the receiver subsystem at the target based on the target location information received from the sending subsystem, forming a target image at a receiver subsystem location when the optical axis is pointed at the target, and identifying a second selected portion of the target image formed at the receiver subsystem location that is correlated to the first selected portion of the target image formed at the sender subsystem location.
