Abstract
Embodiments include apparatus and methods for automatic generation of object polylines that represent roadside objects at a region of a roadway and automatic localization based on the object polylines. Object polylines are generated based on occupied voxels closest to the roadway of one or more voxel occupancy grids associated with the region of the roadway. The object polylines are stored in a database and associated with the region of the roadway. Sensor data from a user located at the region of the roadway is received. The accessed object polylines and the received sensor data are compared. Based on the comparison, localization of the user located at the region of the roadway is performed.
