Claim One:
1. A method for resolving a set of objects in an image of an area, the method comprising: generating a partition that captures the set of objects in the area using the image, wherein the partition is comprised of a group of contiguous object pixels; identifying a number of local max pixels from the group of contiguous object pixels in the partition; performing a quantitative resolution of the set of objects captured in the partition based on the number of local max pixels identified; and performing an object-related operation based on the quantitative resolution of the set of objects wherein performing the object-related operation comprises targeting a weapons system towards at least one of the set of objects based on the quantitative resolution of the set of objects by: identifying an object from the set of objects as an object of interest based on an object amplitude for the object identified as part of the quantitative resolution of the set of objects, identifying a position of the object of interest based on an object centroid for the object identified as part of the quantitative resolution of the set of objects, and targeting the weapons system towards the object of interest using the position of the object of interest.
