Abstract of Patent Application(s)

    A touch-based tracking method comprises starting a GUI which 
displays an environment; observing at least one of the presence or 
absence of one or more targets in relation to features in the 
environment; when an observation is made, reporting the observation 
through the GUI to form an input; reporting the observation in the GUI 
with a hand gesture; applying an algorithm to convert the input into a 
probability distribution; and updating a target state estimate and 
alters the environment display. The environment may be an area or a 
map, and the map may include a plurality of features, e.g. roads, 
building structures, forest, and water. The observation indicates the 
presence or non-presence of the one or more targets. The hand gesture 
is made on the map, such as a swiping motion with one or more fingers 
on the GUI, wherein the hand gesture indicates the strength of the
