1. An object locator system for locating an object of interest in a scene, comprising: a) a hand-held rangefinder configured to be grasped by the operator b) a body mountable pedestrian localization unit configured to be worn by an operator spaced from said hand-held rangefinder; c) a pose sensor for estimating relative position and orientation of said hand-held rangefinder relative to said localization device; and d) a computer control system coupled to said pedestrian localization unit, said rangefinder, and said pose sensor, said computer control system being programmed to compute a relative location of the object with respect to said body worn localization unit using range data from said rangefinder and relative pose from said pose sensor, and transform the relative location to a global location using data from said pedestrian localization unit.
