The invention relates to a method and a system for the optical detection, with hyperacuity, of a contrasted target, allowing the detection of the relative position of said target in relation to said detection system (1100) and therefore the acquisition and the pursuit of such a target. The invention is applicable to the field of autonomous robotic systems, especially for the positioning of drones (1000) or robots on a target. La présente invention concerne un procédé et un systéme de détection optique en hyperacuité d'une cible contrastée permettant la détection de la position relative de ladite cible par rapport audit systéme de détection (1100) et donc l'acquisition et la poursuite d'une telle cible. L'invention trouve son application dans le domaine des systèmes autonomes robotisés, notamment pour le positionement de drones (1000) ou de robots sur une cible.
