Claim One:
1. A processor-implemented method for improving the accuracy of a location of an object, the method comprising: receiving by a processor first image data and first image information for an area of interest, wherein the area of interest encompasses the object; performing by the processor a first pixel measurement process on the first image data using the first image information, wherein the first pixel measurement process produces first extracted information and first heritage information, wherein the first heritage information comprises information used to compute the first extracted information and wherein the first extracted information comprises a measure of a first calculated location of the object; storing by the processor the first extracted information in an extracted information datastore; storing by the processor the first heritage information in a heritage information datastore; receiving and storing second image data and second image information by the processor for the area of interest; performing by the processor a second pixel measurement process on the second image data using the second image information and the first heritage information, wherein the second pixel measurement process produces second extracted information and second heritage information wherein the second extracted information comprises a measure of a second calculated location of the object; storing by the processor the second extracted information in the extracted information datastore; storing by the processor the second heritage information in the heritage information datastore; and determining by the processor a measure of a current calculated location of the object as determined from the first and second calculated locations of the object.
