Systems and related methods for controlling vehicle position and movement are disclosed. A system includes one or more computers configured to receive data corresponding to video image frames of at least a portion of a course, and analyze the video image frame to estimate at least one of position and orientation of the vehicle within the course. A method includes identifying groups of pixels from the video image frames that are determined to correspond to non-background objects in the course. The method also includes correlating at least a portion of the identified groups of pixels with known objects in the course, and analyzing positions of the groups of pixels within the video image frames and known positions of at least one of an image capture device and known objects relative to the course to estimate at least one of the position and orientation of the vehicle within the course.
