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.

Object detection using cooperative sensors and video triangulation

Methods and apparatus are provided for a model-based diagnostic interface. An apparatus is provided for a diagnostic interface for a system having system data, system information, and a system model having a model nomenclature, the diagnostic interface comprising at least one computational object producing an output responsive to said system data, wherein said at least one object includes a binding of said system data to said system information, wherein said system data is mapped to said model nomenclature before being bound. A method is provided for making a model-based diagnostic interface for a system having system information and system data representing the status of said system, the method comprising the steps of modeling said system to create a system model having a system model nomenclature, mapping said system data into said system model nomenclature, and binding said system data mapped to said system model nomenclature to said system information.
