Method for remotely determining an absolute azimuth of a target point in which: - a first series of images is acquired by means of a first piece of equipment, comprising at least one image of a first visual environment from a first location (P 1), the location coordinates of which are known, - the elements of said images are associated with absolute azimuth values in a frame of reference centred on said first location (P 1), - a first image database is constituted, associated with the location coordinates of the first location (P 1), - said first image database is transferred to a second piece of equipment, said second piece of equipment storing said first image database, the second piece of equipment being a mobile piece of equipment, - a second series of images is acquired by means of said second piece of equipment, comprising at least one image of a second visual environment from a second location (P 2), the location coordinates of which are known and from which the target point is visible, - at least one point of correspondence is determined between the first image database and at least one image of the second series of images, said at least one point of correspondence corresponding to a common element shared by both the first and second visual environment, - an absolute azimuth (θ 2) is attributed to the common element in a frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2), - a relative azimuth (θ 3) of the target point is determined in relation to said common element, in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2), - an absolute azimuth (θ B) of the target point is determined in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2) by exploiting the absolute azimuth (θ 2) in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2) attributed to the common element and the relative azimuth (θ 3) of the target point in relation to said element in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2). - a first series of images is acquired by means of a first piece of equipment, comprising at least one image of a first visual environment from a first location (P 1), the location coordinates of which are known, - the elements of said images are associated with absolute azimuth values in a frame of reference centred on said first location (P 1), - a first image database is constituted, associated with the location coordinates of the first location (P 1), - said first image database is transferred to a second piece of equipment, said second piece of equipment storing said first image database, the second piece of equipment being a mobile piece of equipment, - a second series of images is acquired by means of said second piece of equipment, comprising at least one image of a second visual environment from a second location (P 2), the location coordinates of which are known and from which the target point is visible, - at least one point of correspondence is determined between the first image database and at least one image of the second series of images, said at least one point of correspondence corresponding to a common element shared by both the first and second visual environment, - an absolute azimuth (θ 2) is attributed to the common element in a frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2), - a relative azimuth (θ 3) of the target point is determined in relation to said common element, in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2), - an absolute azimuth (θ B) of the target point is determined in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2) by exploiting the absolute azimuth (θ 2) in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2) attributed to the common element and the relative azimuth (θ 3) of the target point in relation to said element in the frame of reference centred on the second location (P 2).
