What is the best grid-map for self-driving cars localization? An evaluation under diverse types of illumination, traffic, and environment

作者:

Highlights:

• Localization with occupancy or reflectivity grid maps is more accurate.

• Semantic grid maps lead to stable and reasonably accurate localization.

• Localization with colour grid maps failed due to changes in illumination.

• Entropy correlation coefficient is not a good metric for comparing colour maps.

• The two-step mapping technique was successfully employed in all experiments.
