Abstract
A computer vision vehicle locating fusion method includes: receiving an instant driving image from a camera, extracting multiple image features from the instant driving image and the multiple image features being extracted with the pre-stored feature sets in the storage device to fuse an inertial measurement parameter and the pre-stored satellite locating coordinate corresponding to one of the pre-stored feature sets that best matches the instant driving image to generate a first candidate coordinate; using the one satellite measurement coordinate received from a satellite locating device as a second candidate coordinate; calculating a first difference between the first candidate coordinate and an estimated reference coordinate, and calculating a second difference between the second candidate coordinate and the estimated reference coordinate; and determining and outputting the first candidate coordinate or the second candidate coordinate that has the smaller difference with the estimated reference coordinate.
