Abstract

A localization and mapping system and method for a motor vehicle is disclosed and includes at least one camera configured to obtain images of an environment surrounding the motor vehicle, at least one sensor configured to obtain location information for objects surrounding the motor vehicle and a controller configured to receive the images captured by the at least one camera and the location information obtained by the at least one sensor. The controller enhances the captured images utilizing a neural network and combines the enhanced images with the location information to localize the vehicle within the mapped environment.
