Systems and methods of adjusting position information

Abstract:

A system includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store map data indicating positions of landmarks. The processor is configured to receive image data from an image sensor. The processor is also configured to determine, based on the image data, a first estimate of a position, relative to the image sensor, of a landmark identified in the map data. The processor is configured to determine orientation of the image sensor based on inertial measurement unit measurements. The processor is also configured to determine, based on position information, the orientation, and the map data, a second estimate of the position of the landmark. The processor is configured to determine position offset data based on a comparison of the first estimate and the second estimate. The processor is also configured to generate, based on the position offset data and the position information, an output indicating an adjusted position.
