Abstract
A method of automatically geolocating a visual target. The method comprises operating a flying vehicle in a search region including the visual target. The method further includes affirmatively identifying a visual target in an aerial photograph of the search region captured by the flying vehicle. The method further includes automatically correlating the aerial photograph of the search region to a geo-tagged photograph of the search region, wherein the geo-tagged photograph is labelled with pre-defined geospatial coordinates. Based on such automatic correlation, a geospatial coordinate is determined for the visual target in the search region.
