Abstract
Techniques are provided for implementing a system for determining the range to a target object. In implementations, a system for determining a range estimate to a target includes a rangefinder, a camera, a display and at least one processor. A processor may acquire an image from the camera, identify a target flagstick within the image acquired from the camera and modify pixels proximate to the identified target flagstick of the image to generate a modified image contrasting the target flagstick from objects in the background. The processor may calculate a range estimate to the target flagstick using the rangefinder and present, on the display, the modified image and a representation of the range estimate of the target flagstick.
