Geotagged visual localisation for accurate urban autonomous driving
Rapid urbanisation and large numbers of private car ownership have resulted in significantly more congested roads, leading to ever increasing levels of pollution. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been proposed as a solution to alleviate congestion by providing ride sharing services to reduce the number of cars being driven on roads while transporting similar quantities of people. Furthermore, AVs have the potential to reduce the cases of yearly traffic accidents by incorporating predictable and safe driving routines that minimize the likelihood for accidents.
