Visual Odometry and Place Recognition Fusion for Vehicle Position Tracking in Urban Environments

In this paper, we address the problem of vehicle localization in urban environments. We rely on visual odometry, calculating the incremental motion, to track the position of the vehicle and on place recognition to correct the accumulated drift of visual odometry, whenever a location is recognized. T...
