Abstract
A method is provided that may include obtaining image data related to a route from a imaging device associated with a vehicle, determining a geometric pattern related to the route based on the image data, and identifying the geometric pattern determined within a route database to determine the route of the vehicle.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining image data from an image device onboard a vehicle;
- determining a geometric pattern from the image data;
- and
- identifying a location of the vehicle on a route based on the geometric pattern that is determined from the image data.

A system comprising:
- a monitoring system including at least one imaging device that is configured to be disposed within a vehicle and positioned to capture image data related to a route of the vehicle;
- one or more processors configured to:
- obtain the image data related to the route from the at least one imaging device;
- determine a geometric pattern related to the route based on the image data;
- and
- identify the geometric pattern determined within a route database to determine the route of the vehicle.
