Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for learning a neural network and to determine a pose of a vehicle in an environment. A first processor performs a first feature extraction on sensor-based image data to provide a first feature map. The first processor also performs a second feature extraction on the aerial image data to provide a second feature map. Both feature maps are correlated to provide a correlation result. The first processor learns a neural network using the correlation result and ground-truth data, wherein each of the first feature extraction and the second feature is learned to extract a portion of features from the respective image data. A geo-tagged second feature map can then be retrieved by an on-board processor of the vehicle which, along with on-board processed sensor-based data by the network trained by the first processor, determines the pose of the vehicle.
