Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive a first top-view image of an area obtained from a sensor external to a vehicle, generate a second top-view image of the area based on data from a camera of the vehicle, and determine an estimated location of the vehicle in the area based on comparing the first top-view image and the second top-view image.
