This guidance technique is used primarily for autonomous navigation over well charted terrain. The sensor scans the ground, to identify and specific objects used as navigation aids, providing orientation and navigation updates enroute to the target. As this technique usually relies on multiple orientation points and 3D imaging of objects, throughout the area, Scene Matching techniques provide very high immunity to deception and countermeasures.
