Abstract
A computer-implemented method and apparatus for accurately determining a vehicle's position and predicting navigation key points in real time. The method including instructing a vehicle mounted camera to capture a plurality of images, computing the angular changes between a first image and a subsequent second image, determining the vehicle's position and heading vector from the computed angular changes, collecting at least one image of the plurality of images as a first training subset, obtaining image-related coordinates of navigation key points as a second training subset related to the at least one image of the first training data subset, supplying the first and second training data subset to an artificial neural network as a training dataset, and training the artificial neural network on the training dataset to predict image-related coordinates of navigation key points indicative of road sign locations and/or turn points.
