A system includes a camera mounted on an aircraft, one or more processors, and computer readable memory, for determining a location of an aircraft relative to fiducial markings of airport byways. The method includes the steps of capturing, by a camera disposed on the aircraft, a time-sequence of images of a scene external to the aircraft, wherein the scene includes the byways and the fiducial markings; identifying, by image processing circuitry, pixel coordinates within each of the time sequence of captured images corresponding to the fiducial markings; and determining, by the image processing circuitry, the location of the aircraft relative to the fiducial markings based on the identified pixel coordinates.
