    The modern world demands transportation that is safer, cleaner and makes better use of infrastructure and resources. This is the driving force behind the development of autonomous vehicles and the digitalisation of our railways. A critical enabler for increasing levels digitalisation and automation is accurate and reliable knowledge of a vehicles position - we call this ‘localisation’.Machines with Vision are developing localisation that promises unprecedented levels of accuracy and reliability. Our approach uses a camera mounted on the vehicle to map the ground surface at millimeter resolution and uses this data like a fingerprint to identify the vehicles location.
