Abstract
A system and method for localizing an entity includes a processing system with at least one processing device. The processing system is configured to obtain sensor data from a sensor system that includes at least a first set of sensors and a second set of sensors. The processing system is configured to produce a map image with a map region that is selected and aligned based on a localization estimate. The localization estimate is based on sensor data from the first set of sensors. The processing system is configured to extract sets of localization features from the sensor data of the second set of sensors. The processing system is configured to generate visualization images in which each visualization image includes a respective set of localization features. The processing system is configured to generate localization output data for the vehicle in real-time by optimizing an image registration of the map image relative to the visualization images.
