Claim One:
1. A method comprising obtaining a camera image from a camera and processing said camera image in a data processor by computing the spatial location and azimuth of an object from the locations, in said camera image, of exactly two points on the object, and information about an orientation of the object, and generating one or more signals representative of the location and azimuth of the object, wherein computing the azimuth of the object comprises: receiving coordinate information for images, on an imaging device of a camera, of two points on an object, receiving pitch information from a sensor on the object, using the coordinate information and the pitch information to obtain candidate values for the azimuth of the object, selecting one azimuth value based on an evaluation of the candidate azimuth values in equations relating the coordinate information and pitch information to distances of the points from the camera.
