The special session on Urban Localization focuses on approaches that exploit urban features, and/or the usage of heterogeneous localization systems in innovative ways, to obtain a reliable vehicle localization. The objective is to put together both academic and industry research in this specific domain.
Automated vehicle navigation in GPS-denied-or-limited areas may benefit from the detection of specific urban features, such as intersections, road typology, number-of-lanes detection, traffic-flow detection without road markings, building detections, cartographic maps exploitation, cartographic maps augmentation, and other features that we cannot even anticipate, but are eager to see used for the localization purpose.

List of specific topics of interest

Topics of interest for this special session include, but are not limited to:

  1. detection, and exploitation for localization, of buildings, curbs, lanes, intersections, and other urban features that cannot be here anticipated;
  2. cartographic map exploitation for localization;
  3. innovative usage of different localization systems/cues for localization;
  4. exploitation of traffic detection and tracking in specific areas, e.g., intersections, for localization;
  5. datasets containing urban features, and ground truth, for benchmarking purposes.

Important dates

Submissions follow the same deadlines of regular papers, as reported in the conference website.
