Abstract

A method of self-localizing with respect to surrounding objects, comprising obtaining an approximated geolocation of the vehicle, retrieving mapping data comprising a geolocation of one or more stationary objects located in an area surrounding the approximated geolocation, receiving imagery data of a surrounding environment of the vehicle captured by a plurality of distinct imaging sensors deployed in the vehicle, applying one or more trained machine learning models to identify one or more of the stationary objects in the imagery data, computing a relative positioning of the vehicle with respect to one or more of the stationary objects based on an orientation of each of the plurality of imaging sensors with respect to the stationary object(s), computing an absolute positioning of the vehicle based on the relative positioning and the geolocation of the stationary object(s), and outputting the vehicle's absolute positioning.
