Abstract
Method for collaborative observation between a local targeting device and a distant targeting device located at different geographical positions and able to acquire images. The method including: when it is implemented by the local targeting device, execution of a procedure for determining a position of an observed object, referred to as the local targeted object, including application of a method for matching points of interest, determined on a local image by the local targeting device, representing a distant image obtained from the distant targeting device. If matching is successful, the local targeting device determines the position of the local targeted object according to information representing a position of a distant targeted object supplied by the distant targeting device and a transformation law allowing to pair the distant and local points of interest obtained when said matching method is applied and controls display of an image comprising the local targeted object.
