Image-based localization using prior map database and Monte Carlo Localization

The aim of this paper is to propose an image and map data-based localization method applicable to a variety of environments. For the localization, we use prior map database, image-based localization method, and MCL (Monte Carlo Localization). The results were confirmed by open data set in a variety of environments. The experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed method for the robot localization.
