1. A system comprising:
an imaging device configured to capture one or more images of a first vehicle;
a control unit in communication with the imaging device, wherein the control unit comprises a renderer that dynamically generates an expected image as anticipated to be captured by the imaging device; and
a model database in communication with the control unit, wherein the model database stores a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first vehicle, wherein the control unit is configured to receive image data regarding the one or more images of the first vehicle from the imaging device and analyze the image data with respect to the 3D model of the first vehicle to determine a pose of the first vehicle,
wherein the renderer is configured to use an initial pose estimate to set a nominal pose, and generate a view of the 3D model of at least a portion of the first vehicle at multiple pose values bracketing the nominal pose.
