A machine operating at an underground mine site is provided. The machine includes an engine, a frame, and a vision assembly. The vision assembly is configured to generate a vision feed of a portion of a roof of the mine site. The roof of the mine site has a plurality of bolts arranged in a predefined pattern. The vision assembly is configured to capture at least a portion of the predefined pattern of bolts based on a field of view of the vision assembly. A controller is communicably coupled to the vision assembly. The controller is configured to receive the vision feed of the portion of the roof of the mine site. The controller is configured to compare the vision feed with the predefined pattern of bolts. The controller is configured to determine a current position of the machine at the mine site based on the comparison.
