Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
capturing, by an imaging device, one or more images of a first vehicle;
storing, in a model database, a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first vehicle;
communicatively coupling a control unit with the imaging device;
communicatively coupling the model database with the control unit;
receiving, by the control unit, image data regarding the one or more images of the first vehicle from the imaging device; and
analyzing, by the control unit, the image data with respect to the 3D model of the first vehicle to determine a pose of the first vehicle, wherein said analyzing comprises dynamically generating, by a renderer of the control unit, an expected image as anticipated to be captured by the imaging device, said dynamically generating comprises using an initial pose estimate to set a nominal pose, and generating a view of the 3D model of at least a portion of the first vehicle at multiple pose values bracketing the nominal pose.
