Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for ego-positioning by using a low-cost monocular camera for systems based on the Internet-of-Vehicles. To reduce the computational and memory requirements, as well as the communication load, we tackle the model compression task as a weighted $k$-cover problem for better preserving the critical structures. For real-world vision-based positioning applications, we consider the issue of large scene changes and introduce a model update algorithm to address this problem. A large positioning data set containing data collected for more than a month, 106 sessions, and 14 275 images is constructed. Extensive experimental results show that submeter accuracy can be achieved by the proposed ego-positioning algorithm, which outperforms existing vision-based approaches.
