1. A target location apparatus comprising:

  • a sensor for receiving real-time image data of a target area; and

    a processor including;

    an effects processor configured to access a database, the database having at least one pre-stored image of the target area in a database coordinate system, wherein the effects processor is further configured to retrieve a pre-stored image of the target area from the database and to transform the pre-stored image to a warped coordinate system;

    a visual processor configured to receive the transformed pre-stored image and to add visual effects to the transformed pre-stored image, the visual processor creating a projection image of the target area; and

    an image processor configured to receive the projection image and the real-time image data, to convert the real-time image data into an image of the target area and to compare the projection image to the image of the target area;

    wherein said processor outputs a location of a target in the target area based on the comparison of the projection image with the image of the target area.
