Abstract
A system may include first and second sensors configured to be coupled to a vehicle and generate surface sensor signals representative of a surface on which a location marker is disposed, and generate marker sensor signals representative of the location marker. The system may also include a sensor processor configured to estimate at least one of a position or an orientation of the first sensor relative to the surface on which the location marker is disposed based at least in part on the surface sensor signals, and estimate at least one of a position or an orientation of the second sensor relative to the location marker based at least in part on the marker sensor signals. The sensor processor may be configured to calculate at least one of the position or the orientation of the vehicle relative to the location marker based at least in part on the estimations.
