Abstract: The method, implemented within a mission system that comprises an electro-optical camera which generates video images, detects movable/moving objects, and tracks a target object; and a radar sensor which generates signals and detects blips, consists of: acquiring a video image provided by the camera and blips provided by the radar sensor at the time instant of generation of the acquired video image; converting the geographic position of each acquired blip, expressed in a first reference frame associated with the radar sensor, into a geographic position expressed in a second reference frame associated with a camera pointing direction of the electro-optical camera at the time instant of generation of the video image; and correcting the geographic position of each blip in the second reference frame, according to the characteristic features of the camera, in a manner such as to obtain a position in the image.

Abstract: A radar imaging device having a mission to produce a radar image of a given target, comprising a step of determining the trajectory of the carrier of the imaging device comprises at least: a phase of determining a segment of trajectory for the picture capture, as a function of the position of the target and of the type of image to be produced, the picture capture segment being dedicated to the picture capture of the target by the imaging device; a phase of adding a segment of trajectory of stabilizing the carrier, situated upstream in the extension of the picture capture segment; a phase of addition of a segment of trajectory for homing the carrier onto the stabilizing segment.
