Patent attributes
A method and a device for increasing the accuracy of localization. The method includes the following steps: a) detecting a selected object in an environment, using a camera of a first vehicle; b) estimating a first position of the selected object, wherein a first program uses first location coordinates of the first vehicle and a first distance estimate to the selected object; c) transferring an attribute of the selected object, the first location coordinates and the first distance estimate to a server; d) carrying out the steps a) to c) for a second vehicle; e) calculating a third position of the selected object by the server, wherein a third program performs an averaging of the plurality of location coordinates and distance estimates; f) using the third position of the selected object as a reference position for increasing the accuracy of a localization of a third vehicle.
