Abstract:
A method supported by a first terminal is provided herein. To implement the method, a camera of a first terminal performs two or more captures of two or more frames along a line of sight toward a second terminal. A controller of the first terminal manipulates the two or more frames to produce two or more interim images and analyzes the two or more interim images to track a beacon of the second terminal. The controller outputs coordinates with respect to the tracked beacon to a mirror package of the first terminal.
