Abstract
A system for determining a position of a vehicle includes a camera, a marker, a storage device, an external parameter system, and a controller. The camera is configured to capture an image of an area adjacent the vehicle, the image including an edge. The marker detection device is configured to detect a marker in the area adjacent the vehicle. The storage device is configured to store map data, the stored map data including edge data. The positioning system is configured to determine the location of the vehicle relative to the stored map data. The controller is configured to combine the marker detected by the marker detection device and the edge in the image captured by the camera, and compare the combined marker detected by the marker detection device and the edge in the image captured by the camera to the stored map data.
