The method, implemented within a mission system that comprises an electro-optical camera which generates video images, detects movable/moving objects, and tracks a target object; and a radar sensor which generates signals and detects blips, consists of: acquiring a video image provided by the camera and blips provided by the radar sensor at the time instant of generation of the acquired video image; converting the geographic position of each acquired blip, expressed in a first reference frame associated with the radar sensor, into a geographic position expressed in a second reference frame associated with a camera pointing direction of the electro-optical camera at the time instant of generation of the video image; and correcting the geographic position of each blip in the second reference frame, according to the characteristic features of the camera, in a manner such as to obtain a position in the image.
A radar-assisted optical tracking method, implemented within a mission system that comprises (a) an electro-optical camera which generates video images, detects moving objects, and tracks a target object, and (b) a radar sensor which generates signals and detects blips, the radar-assisted optical tracking method comprising:
A mission system having a radar sensor, an electro-optical camera, and a device for acquiring a video image provided by the electro-optical camera and blips detected by the radar sensor, wherein said video image is generated and said blips are detected at the same time the device comprising:
