Abstract
A method includes obtaining infrastructure data from one or more infrastructure sensors, determining an infrastructure-based positional characteristic of the vehicle based on the infrastructure data, obtaining onboard image data from the onboard image sensor, determining an image-based positional characteristic of the vehicle based on the onboard image data and a digital twin of the manufacturing environment, generating an offset matrix based on the infrastructure-based positional characteristic and the image-based positional characteristic, and selectively adjusting a rotation matrix of the onboard image sensor based on the offset matrix and one or more additional offset matrices.
