A method of visual-inertial odometry for a ground vehicle is disclosed and includes obtaining an initial set of images with a camera on-board a vehicle, identifying features within the initial set of images, determining a three-dimensional pose using the visual features in the initial set of images, obtaining information indicative of vehicle movement with an inertial measurement unit, obtaining information indicative of vehicle movement with wheel speed sensors and a steering wheel angle sensor, fusing the identified features within the images, the vehicle movement from the IMU, and vehicle sensors within a two-dimensional plane, and determining a vehicle position relative to an initial start location based on the visual features in the images and the vehicle movement information from the IMU, wheel speed sensors, and the steering wheel angle.
