• Abstract: Indoor localization systems often fuse inertial odometry with map information via hand-defined methods to reduce odometry drift, but such methods are sensitive to noise and struggle to generalize across odometry sources. To address the robustness problem in map utilization, we propose a data-driven prior on possible user locations in a map by combining learned spatial map embeddings and temporal odometry embeddings. Our prior learns to encode which map regions are feasible locations for a user more accurately than previous hand-defined methods. This prior leads to a 49% improvement in inertial-only localization accuracy when used in a particle filter. This result is significant, as it shows that our relative positioning method can match the performance of absolute positioning using bluetooth beacons. To show the generalizability of our method, we also show similar improvements using wheel encoder odometry.

  We present a mapping system that fuses local submaps gathered from a fleet of vehicles at a central instance to produce a coherent map of the road environment. Our method jointly aligns and merges the noisy and incomplete local submaps using a scene-specific Neural Signed Distance Field. We leverage memory-efficient sparse feature-grids to scale to large areas and introduce a confidence score to model uncertainty in scene reconstruction.

  Most GPS trajectory datasets include stay-points irregularity, which makes map-matching algorithms mismatch trajectories to irrelevant streets. We cluster stay-points in a trajectory dataset with DBSCAN and eliminate redundant data to improve the efficiency of the map-matching algorithm. Our approach yields 27.39% data size reduction and 8.9% processing time reduction with the same accurate results as the previous fuzzy-logic based map-matching approach.

  We try to use locally connected Gaussian kernels to replace the original convolution filter to estimate the spatial position in the density map. Inspired by previous work, we propose a low-rank approximation accompanied with translation invariance to favorably implement the approximation of massive Gaussian convolution. Our methods significantly outperform other state-of-the-art methods and achieve promising learning of the spatial position of objects.

  Local features provide region-to-region rather than point-to-point correspondences. We propose guidelines for effective use of region-to-region matches in the course of a full model estimation pipeline. Experiments show that affine solvers can achieve accuracy comparable to point-based solvers at faster run-times.
