Abstract
The localization of a vehicle is determined using less expensive and computationally robust equipment compared to conventional methods. Localization is determined by estimating the position of a vehicle relative to a map of the environment, and the process thereof includes using a map of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, a model of the motion of the frame of reference of the vehicle (e.g., ego-motion), sensor data from the surrounding environment, and a process to match sensory data to the map. Localization also includes a process to estimate the position based on the sensor data, the motion of the frame of reference of the vehicle, and/or the map. Such methods and systems enable the use of less expensive components while achieving useful results for a variety of applications, such as autonomous vehicles.
