Abstract
A method and system for guiding a vehicle comprises a location determining receiver for collecting location data for the vehicle. A vision module collects vision data for the vehicle. A location quality estimator estimates the location quality data for the location data during an evaluation time window. A vision module estimates vision quality data for the vision data during the evaluation time window. A supervisor module selects at least one of a location data weight and a vision data weight based on the quality data.
