A visual localization method includes generating a first feature point map by using first map data calculated on the basis of a first viewpoint; generating a second feature point map by using second map data calculated on the basis of a second viewpoint different from the first viewpoint; constructing map data for localization having the first and second feature point maps integrated with each other, by compensating for a position difference between a point of the first feature point map and a point of the second feature point map; and performing visual localization by using the map data for localization.

Method and system for visual localization

The present invention relates to a method and system of generating a three-dimensional (3D) map. The 3D map generating method of the present invention includes: collecting spatial data and image data on a specific space by using a lidar sensor and a camera sensor that are each provided on a collecting device; estimating a movement trajectory of the lidar sensor by using the spatial data; and generating 3D structure data on the specific space based on structure-from-motion (SFM), by using the image data and the movement trajectory as input data.

Method and system of generating 3D map

A method of generating a map for visual localization includes specifying a virtual camera pose by using 3-dimensional (3D) model data which is based on an image of an outdoor space captured from the air; rendering the image of the outdoor space from a perspective of the virtual camera, by using the virtual camera pose and the 3D model data; and generating a feature point map by using the rendered image and the virtual camera pose.
