Visual localization for mobile robots and intelligent vehicles in prior LiDAR maps can achieve high accuracy and low cost. However, algorithms for finding the cross-modal correspondences between images and LiDAR map points are not yet stable. In this paper, we propose a monocular visual localization system in prior LiDAR maps, which is based on the cross-modal registration to optimize the camera p...
