Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for precise target positioning in geographical imaging are provided. The system includes: a sensor including a camera and a telemetry information provider; and a simulated image mechanism for simulating an image of the view from the camera generated from an orthophotograph. A display displays a geographical image of a view from the camera and simultaneously displaying the simulated image. A selection component is provided for selecting a location on the simulated image. This is done by reference to a target in the geographical image. A world coordinates calculating component accurately calculates the world coordinates for the selected location from the simulated image.
