Abstract
A system and method for determining a position of a target. The method includes determining a first direction to the target from a first observing position, estimating a first approximate position of the target based on the first direction and the first observing position, determining a second direction to the target from a second observing position, and estimating a second approximate position of the target based on the second direction and the second observing position. The method further includes determining a first approximate intersection point of (i) a first finite length line between the first observing position and the first approximate position of the target, and (ii) a second finite length line between the second observing position and the second approximate position of the target.
