A method, apparatus and system for guiding a number of mobile devices. An image of a portion of an environment around a mobile device in the number of mobile devices is received from a sensor system associated with the mobile device. A set of pixels in the image that meets a standard is identified. A centroid for the set of pixels that meets the standard is identified. A number of commands for guiding the mobile device within the environment is generated based on the centroid.
