Abstract :
A method was proposed for finding the position and direction of vehicles by processing the images of flat landmarks. For multiple landmarks set in a wide area, the vehicle can run in an arbitrary space. Since a low locating accuracy was found at the right frontal area of the flat landmark, a cubic landmark is proposed here to improve the locating accuracy, and the experimental result is reported here
