Abstract
A method for determining a position of a mobile unit with at least one sensor device, which is set up to capture environmental images of the mobile unit, and with a map, which comprises at least known landmarks with map position information. At least one hypothesis is determined for the at least one initially estimated position of the mobile unit and the at least one landmark detected in an environmental image, wherein the at least one hypothesis comprises at least one association of the at least one detected landmark of the at least one captured environmental image with at least one known landmark of the map. At least one new estimate of the position of the mobile unit and a weight of the at least one hypothesis are determined for the at least one hypothesis by means of at least one Kalman filter.
