An approximate camera location on a route can be determined by inputting a first image acquired by a vehicle camera to a first convolutional neural network. First image feature points can be extracted from the first image using a feature extraction algorithm. Pose estimation parameters for a pose estimation algorithm can be selected based on the approximate camera location. A six degree-of-freedom (DoF) camera pose can be determined by inputting the first image feature points and second feature points included in a structure-from-motion (SfM) map based on the route to the pose estimation algorithm which is controlled by the pose estimation parameters. A six DoF vehicle pose can be determined based on the six DoF camera pose.
