Abstract

The present invention relates to a system (200) and method for determining a relation between a first scene and a second scene. The method comprises the steps of generating at least one sensor image of a first scene with at least one sensor; accessing information related to at least one second scene, said second scene encompassing said first scene, and matching the sensor image with the second scene to map the sensor image onto the second scene. The step of accessing information related to the at least one second scene comprises accessing a 3D map comprising geocoded 3D coordinate data. The mapping involves associating geocoding information to a plurality of positions in the sensor image based on the coordinate data of the second scene.
