A method and system enables improved vision based navigation of a vehicle. The method includes: capturing an image from the vehicle, wherein the image includes a parallel texture; estimating a roll and pitch of the vehicle using the captured image or another external source of a camera attitude; compensating for the estimated roil and pitch in the image; and calculating a heading of the vehicle relative to the parallel texture using the image in which roll and pitch is compensated.
