1. A method for approximating a target object'"'"'s pose from a range measurement device generated image of a target environment comprising the steps of:

  • generating a range image of the target environment;

    extracting a binary map from the range image;

    determining the location of at least one target object silhouette;

    iteratively applying stages of binary templates to each target object silhouette with each stage representing a range of possible poses of the target object;

    wherein each stage represents a higher spatial fidelity than the previous stage;

    such that each stage reduces a number of possible poses of the target object; and

    approximating the target object'"'"'s pose based on a set of binary templates that best matches the target object silhouette.
