Abstract: Increasingly, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming a reality, such as the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles that assist drivers in driving and parking functions with vehicles today. The localization problem for AVs relies primarily on multiple sensors, including cameras, LiDARs, and radars. Manufacturing, installing, calibrating, and maintaining these sensors can be very expensive, thereby increasing the overall cost of AVs. This research explores the means to improve localization on vehicles belonging to the ADAS category in a platooning context, where an ADAS vehicle follows a lead "Smart" AV equipped with a highly accurate sensor suite. We propose and produce results by using a filtering framework to combine pose information derived from vision and odometry to improve the localization of the ADAS vehicle that follows the smart vehicle.
