    Abstract: A system for visual odometry is disclosed. The system includes: an internet server, comprising: an I/O port, configured to transmit and receive electrical signals to and from a client device; a memory; one or more processing units; and one or more programs stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processing units, the one or more programs including instructions for: extracting representative features from a pair input images in a first convolution neural network (CNN) in a visual odometry model; merging, in a first merge module, outputs from the first CNN; decreasing feature map size in a second CNN; generating a first flow output for each layer in a first deconvolution neural network (DNN); merging, in a second merge module, outputs from the second CNN and the first DNN; generating a second flow output for each layer in a second DNN; and reducing accumulated errors in a recurrent neural network (RNN).

    Abstract: A method of localization for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs comprise instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform by one or more autonomous vehicle driving modules execution of processing of images from a camera and data from a LiDAR using the following steps comprising: constructing a 3D submap and a global map; extracting features from the 3D submap and the global map; matching features extracted from the 3D submap against features extracted from the global map; refining feature correspondence; and refining location of the 3D submap.

    Abstract: A system for generating a ground truth dataset for motion planning of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes an internet server that further includes an I/O port, configured to transmit and receive electrical signals to and from a client device; a memory; one or more processing units; and one or more programs stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processing units, the one or more programs including instructions for: an identifying module configured to identify, for a pair of undistorted LiDAR scans, points belonging to a static object in an environment; an aligning module configured to align close points based on pose estimates; and a transforming module configured to transform a reference scan that is close in time to a target undistorted LiDAR scan so as to align the reference scan with the target undistorted LiDAR scan.
