Abstract

A computer-implemented method for determining a position of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the vehicle is equipped with a sensor for capturing scans of a vicinity of the vehicle, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps carried out by computer-hardware components: capturing at least one scan by means of the sensor with a plurality of sensor data samples given in a sensor data representation; determining, from a database, a predefined map with at least one element is given in a map data representation; determining a transformed map by transforming the at least one element of the predefined map from the map data representation into the sensor data representation; matching at least a subset of the sensor data samples of the at least one scan and the at least one element of the transformed map; and determining the position of the vehicle based on the matching.
