NAVIGATING USING TWO-DIMENSIONAL MAP DATA FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method used to localize one or more systems using 2D map data. The method may include determining an image location of a representation of a portion of an object in an image corresponding to an environment. In some embodiments, the method may additionally include determining one or more predicted image locations corresponding to the image location of the representation of the portion of the object. The method may additionally include comparing one or more ground plane locations of the portion of the object with the one or more predicted image locations, and determining a cost based at least on the comparison between the one or more ground plane locations and the one or more predicted image locations. Further, the method may include localizing a system to the 2D map data based on the determined cost.
