Lane marking localization and fusion

A method of determining a location of a vehicle, comprising:

• generating a temporal location prediction based on elapsed time from when a previous location of the vehicle was obtained;
• generating a visual location prediction based on visual information obtained from an imaging device of the vehicle;
• and
• generating a location of the vehicle based on the temporal location prediction and the visual location prediction.

A system of determining a location of a vehicle, comprising:

• a data processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the data processor to:
• receive a first region map and a second region map from a database;
• receive a first response image and a second response image generated by different imaging devices respectively, the first response image and the second response image comprising information relating to an environment of the vehicle;
• generate a first response map from the first response image, and a second response map from the second response image;
• generate a first location based on a comparison of the first response map and the first region map;
• generate a second location based on a comparison of the second response map to the second region map;
• and
• predict the location of the vehicle based on the first location and the second location.
