چکیده

Accurate vehicle positioning is important not only for in-car navigation systems but is also a requirement for emerging autonomous driving methods. Consumer level GPS are inaccurate in a number of driving environments such as in tunnels or areas where tall buildings cause satellite shadowing. Current vision-based methods typically rely on the integration of multiple sensors or fundamental matrix calculation which can be unstable when the baseline is small. In this paper we present a novel visual localization method which uses a visual street map and extracted SURF image features. By monitoring the difference in scale of features matched between input images and the visual street map within a Dynamic Time Warping framework, stable localization in the direction of motion is achieved without calculation of the fundamental or essential matrices. We present the system performance in real traffic environments. By comparing localization results with a high accuracy GPS ground truth, we demonstrate that accurate vehicle positioning is achieved.

Long-term Visual Localization using Semantically Segmented Images

Robust cross-seasonal localization is one of the major challenges in long-term visual navigation of autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we exploit recent advances in semantic segmentation of images, i.e., where each pixel is assigned a label related to the type of object it represents, to solve the problem of long-term visual localization. We show that semantically labeled 3D point maps of the ...
