Abstract
A method for rejecting inaccurate subimages is disclosed for subimages used to track an aimpoint. The difference between the actual location of each subimage and the location of the subimage based on an estimated aimpoint is compared to a threshold value. The subimage is discarded if the difference exceeds the threshold value. The aimpoint may then be reestimated using the revised set of subimages.
