Abstract: A method for determining an estimated position of a vehicle includes: receiving a measured sensor response determined with a scanning sensor of the vehicle, which is scanning an environment of the vehicle and determining the estimated position of the vehicle by generating a virtual sensor response for a possible position of the vehicle from an environmental map; and comparing the measured sensor response with the virtual sensor response for determining, how much the possible position and a real position of the vehicle at which the measured sensor response was generated, coincide.

Abstract: A method for inspection of a target object, the method including irradiating a reference surface having a non-flat reference profile with radiation; determining reference response data based on detected radiation having interacted with the reference surface; irradiating a target object with radiation, the target object including a target surface having a non-flat target profile corresponding to the reference profile; determining inspection response data based on detected radiation having interacted with the target object; and determining at least one parameter of the target object based on the reference response data and the inspection response data. An alternative method; a control system for controlling an emitter system and a detector system; and an inspection system including a control system, an emitter system and a detector system, are also provided.
