Positioning system utilizing enhanced perception-based localization

A position determination control system for determining a position of a machine on a worksite, comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions and a map of the worksite which includes one or more known objects in the worksite;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, including:
• determining whether a locating device associated with the machine is accurately providing the position of the machine;
• detecting one or more objects in the worksite;
• determining an unmatched object from among the detected objects that does not match the one or more known objects;
• and
• storing the unmatched object in the map as a known object of the worksite, responsive to determining that the locating device is accurately providing the position of the machine.

A system for determining a position of a machine on a worksite, comprising:

• one or more memory storage devices for storing a map of the worksite comprising one or more known objects in the worksite and positions of the one or more known objects;
• a GPS device associated with the machine;
• a movement sensor associated with the machine for detecting one or more movements of the machine;
• an object detection sensor associated with the machine for detecting one or more objects in the worksite;
• and
• a controller in communication with the one or more memory storage devices, the GPS device, the movement sensor, and the object detection sensor, configured to:
• determine whether the GPS device associated with the machine is accurately providing the position of the machine;
• determine an unmatched object from among the detected one or more objects that does not match the one or more known objects stored in the map;
• and
• store the unmatched object in the map as a known object of the worksite.
