1. A method for locating coordinates in an infrared (“IR”) image, the method comprising: generating a laser spot on an object, wherein the laser spot is generated by a laser pointing device; receiving emitted and reflected radiation from the object, wherein the received radiation includes radiation from the laser spot; generating a visual image from a visual sensor and an IR image from an IR sensor, wherein both images are based on the received radiation; detecting visual image coordinates of the laser spot in the visual image; determining an offset between the visual image coordinates and a predetermined point in the visual image; determining a distance between the IR camera and the object based on the offset; and determining the IR image coordinates of the laser spot in the IR image based on the distance between the IR camera and the object and a displacement parameter related to the displacement between the visual image and the IR image.
