1. A method for determining a position of a machine in a worksite, the method comprising:

  • determining, using a Lidar unit on the machine, input data associated with distances between the Lidar unit and respective light-reflective points in the worksite;

    comparing the input data with first comparison data including at least one reference data set indicative of distances between at least one reference position and the respective light-reflective points in the worksite, the at least one reference position having a fixed location in the worksite; and

    determining a first position of the machine based on the first comparison data when the input data and the at least one reference data set satisfy a predefined condition, wherein comparing the input data and the at least one reference data set includes;

    determining a correlation between the input data and the at least one reference data set; and
