Abstract

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for estimating the absolute pose of a vehicle using visual data. Our method works in two steps: first we construct a visual map of geolocalized landmarks, then we localize the vehicle using this map. The main advantages of our method are that the localization of the vehicle is absolute and that it requires only a monocular camera and a low-cost GPS. We firstly outline our method, then we present our experimental results on real images using a reference database: the KITTI Vision Benchmark Suite.
