Claim One:
1. A method for displaying localization error of a plurality of image coordinate points of a georeferenced image, comprising: providing a georeferenced image, in which each of the image coordinate points is associated with announced values of geographical coordinates defining the geographical localization of an object corresponding to the image coordinate point of the georeferenced image; displaying the georeferenced image on a display; providing, for each of the image coordinate points of the entire georeferenced image, an estimated value, estimated by a processor, each of the estimated values being the localization error specific to the corresponding image coordinate point, the localization error not being uniform over the image, wherein the localization error is estimated based on: i) conditions of an observation sensor used to capture the georeferenced image and ii) a terrain error associated with a terrain model which models the relationship between the image coordinate points; and displaying the localization error for at least one point among the image coordinate points of the georeferenced image on the display so as to make it possible for a user to view the localization error, wherein the conditions of the observation sensor used to capture the georeferenced image and the terrain error associated with the terrain model are independent from each other, and wherein the terrain error associated with the terrain model is based on factors that are independent from the conditions of the observation sensor.
