Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting and tracking a target. Images are captured from a field of view by at least two cameras mounted on one or more platforms. These images are analyzed to identify landmarks with the images which can be used to track the targets position from frame to frame. The images are fused (merged) with information about the target or platform position from at least one sensor to detect and track the target. The targets position with respect to the position of the platform is displayed or the position of the platform relative to the target is displayed.
