Abstract:
Localizing a vehicle on the Earth's surface, via the registration of a map and real-time images of the vehicle's environment, is discussed. Both the map and real-time images are 2D representations of the surface, both are from an aerial-view perspective of the surface, and both are represented in a semantic-domain, rather than a visual-domain. The map is an aerial-view semantic map that includes 2D semantic representations of objects located on the surface. The semantic representations of the map indicate semantic labels and absolute positions of the objects. The real-time images are real-time aerial-view semantic images that include additional 2D semantic representations of the objects. The additional semantic representations of the real-time images indicate semantic labels and relative positions of the objects. Via image registration, the absolute position and orientation of the vehicle is determined based on a spatial and rotational correspondence between the absolute and relative positions of the objects.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for localizing a vehicle on a surface of an environment that includes an object,\n the method comprising:\n receiving a first semantic representation of the object that indicates a label associated with the object and an absolute position of the object that is with respect to the surface; \n capturing a visual representation of the object that indicates on one or more detected aspects of a plurality of photons received from the object; \n generating a second semantic representation of the object, based on a segmentation of the visual representation of the object, that indicates the label associated with the object and a relative position of the object that is with respect to the vehicle; \n in response to identifying that the label associated with the object is indicated in each of the first and second semantic representations of the object, generating a spatial correspondence between the absolute position of the object and the relative position of the object; and \n determining an absolute position of the vehicle based on the spatial correspondence between the absolute position of the object and the relative position of the object, wherein the absolute position of the vehicle is with respect to the surface.
