Claim 19:
20. An apparatus comprising:
at least one memory unit; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory unit, in which the at least one processor is configured to:
receive visual data from a camera on a vehicle;
detect a traffic boundary within the visual data;
select a first one or more cells of an occupancy grid based on a bird's eye view projection of the detected traffic boundary, wherein each cell of the occupancy grid corresponds to a position on a road relative to the vehicle;
increment a value of the first one or more cells;
receive a portion of a traffic boundary map;
compute a cross-correlation between the occupancy grid and the portion of the traffic boundary map to produce at least one consistency value; and
localize the vehicle within the traffic boundary map based on the at least one consistency value.
