In one embodiment, a method for temporal smoothness in localization results for an autonomous driving vehicle includes: creating a probability offset volume that represents an overall matching cost between a first set of keypoints from the online point cloud and a second set of keypoints from a pre-built point cloud map for each of a series of sequential light detection and ranging (LiDAR) frames in an online point cloud. The method also includes compressing the probability offset volume into multiple probability vectors across a X dimension, a Y dimension and a yaw dimension; providing each probability vector of the probability offset volume to a number of recurrent neural networks (RNNs); and generating, by the RNNs, a trajectory of location results across the plurality of sequential LiDAR frames.
