Abstract
A controller obtains plural images generated by an imaging device disposed onboard a vehicle, and analyzes at least first and second images of the plural images to identify a feature of interest that is offboard the vehicle and at least partially depicted in the first and second images. The controller determines a first unit vector for the feature of interest based on a first location of the feature of interest in the first image, and determines a second unit vector for the feature of interest based on a second location of the feature of interest in the second image. The controller calculates a third location of the feature of interest, relative to a physical environment, based on the first unit vector, the second unit vector, and at least one of a first reference location of the vehicle or a second reference location of the vehicle.
