Abstract
A method is disclosed for tracking an aimpoint with a set of arbitrarily related subimages. A dimensional relationship between the subimages and the aimpoint is initially determined and saved for later calculations. Subsequently, at least one of the subimages is reacquired. The aimpoint at the subsequent time is then determined using the later acquired subimages and the saved dimensional relationship.
