Abstract

This paper reports an image-based localization for automated vehicle. The proposed method utilizes a mono-camera and an inertial measurement unit to estimate the vehicle pose. Self-localization is implemented by a map matching technique between the reference digital map and sensor observations. In general, the same types of sensors are used for map data and observations. However, this study is focused on the mono-camera based method using Lidar-based map for the purpose of a low-cost implementation. Image template matching is applied to provide a correlation distribution between the captured image and the predefined orthogonal map. A probability of the vehicle pose is then updated using the obtained correlation. The experiments were carried out for real driving data on an urban road. The results have verified that the proposed method estimates the vehicle position in 0.11[m] positioning errors on real-time.
