The localization of autonomous vehicles mainly depends on GPS-based methods in large-scale outdoor scenarios. Unfortunately, GPS is vulnerable and not reliable in some regions, such as urban canyons. Odometry is taken as a complementary method for positioning in GPS-limited areas, but it suffers from accumulated errors, which limits its application. Topological map is a concise and low-cost representation of real world environment, which can be deemed as one of the information sources for localization. To realize accurate localization in the GPS-limited and large-scale scenes for autonomous vehicles, a generalized localization framework based on the topological map and odometry is proposed in this article. The odometry trajectory can be automatically aligned with the correct paths of the map through matching without the initial global position. Under this framework, odometry is deemed as the kinematic model while topological map is regarded as a global sensor that is utilized to correct the drift errors of odometry. As an example, the integration of visual odometry and topological map is used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method on KITTI benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively constrain the drift errors of odometry, and it achieves state-of-the-art localization performance compared with existing map-aided methods.
