Abstract
To localize a vehicle in the given map precisely for autonomous driving, the vehicle needs to compare the sensor perceived environment with the map information accurately. To achieve this, the vehicle may use information received from multiple on-board sensors in combination of GPS and map data. Example implementations described herein are directed to maintaining accuracy of sensor measurements for autonomous vehicles even during sensor failure through a raw data fusion technique and a repopulation of data through a prediction technique based on historical information and statistical method if any of the sensors fail.
