1. A method for determining the position of a moving object having a sensor, comprising:

  • transmitting odometry data from the sensor to a calculation device, estimating, via the calculation device, an orientation and position of the object, wherein the calculation device comprises a filter, creating a diffusion matrix based on the estimated orientation and position taking into account environmental data, determining a contour line based on the diffusion matrix, determining distances between the position and the contour line for different orientations, calculating a probability density function based on the distances, and determining a current orientation and position of the object via the filter based on a previously determined probability density function.
