Inside Apollo: Multisensor Fusion Based Localization

Abstract

We make a brief introduction of the techniques behind our multi-sensor fusion based localization system. We present a robust and precise localization system that achieves centimeter-level localization accuracy in disparate city scenes. The system adaptively uses information from complementary sensors such as GNSS, LiDAR and IMU to achieve high localization accuracy and resilience in challenging scenes, such as urban downtown, highways, and tunnels. In this tutorial, we introduce the technical principles of each individual localization method and the multisensor fusion framework. We also cover our latest work in the exploration of the learning based LiDAR localization method. It’s good for engineers and Ph.D. students who are interested in the vehicle localization system.
