Visually poor scenarios are one of the main sources of failure in visual localization systems in outdoor environments. To address this challenge, we present MOZARD, a multi-modal localization system for urban outdoor environments using vision and LiDAR. By fusing key point based visual multi-session information with semantic data, an improved localization recall can be achieved across vastly diffe...
