1. A method for guiding a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • collecting preliminary location data for the vehicle based on a location-determining receiver associated with the vehicle during an evaluation time window;

    collecting vision-derived location data for the vehicle based on a vision module associated with the vehicle during the evaluation time window;

    estimating vision quality data for the vision-derived location data during the evaluation time window; and

    adjusting the preliminary location data to a revised location data based on the vision-derived location data such that the revised location data is registered with or generally coextensive with the vision-derived location data, if the vision quality data exceeds the minimum threshold level.
