Dear Bob,
That's an interesting approach.
But I think those stripes should have a gradient - be more transparent (less gray) away from the center line. If your idea about choosing the most gray spot as the most "probable" position - then there can be certain cases (with the "gradient stripes" overlaid) when a triangle would contain not just one but up to three "most dark" spots. And the very "center" (whatever that word could mean) of the triangle would not be the most probable position...
I must think on it some more...
Regards,
Tony
