1. A fusion method for combining sensor data with synthetic data to form an integrated image, comprising in combination:

  • identifying at least two landmarks;

    extracting an image gradient from a sensor image dataset for each of the at least two landmarks;

    extracting a corresponding image gradient from a synthetic image dataset for each of the at least two landmarks;

    calculating a center of mass for each of the image gradients extracted from the sensor and synthetic image datasets;

    calculating displacement between corresponding image gradients from the sensor and synthetic image datasets centered at the calculated centers of mass; and

    stabilizing images by minimizing the displacement to form the integrated image.
