  "textContent": "The present disclosure relates to a method performed by an object size mapping system (1) for enabling improved positioning of a vehicle (12). The object size mapping system comprises at least a first reference camera (3) adapted to be arranged on-board a reference vehicle (2). The object size mapping system determines (1001) a current reference position (21) of the reference vehicle. Furthermore, the object size mapping system captures (1002) by means of the at least first reference camera, at the current reference position of the reference vehicle, a current reference image (31) of a stationary physical reference object (4) situated in the surroundings of the reference vehicle. The object size mapping system then determines (1003) a current reference size value (311) of at least a portion of the stationary physical reference object, in the current reference image. Moreover, the object size mapping system stores (1005) the current reference size value to be associated with the current reference position of the reference vehicle and a mapped digital reference object (511) corresponding to the stationary physical reference object. The disclosure also relates to an object size mapping system in accordance with the foregoing, a vehicle positioning system (11) and method performed therein, and a vehicle (2, 12) comprising at least a portion of the object size mapping system and/or vehicle positioning system.",
