Mapping Complementary PNT Inertial Coloring the map to reduce visual drift in GNSS-denied navigation Published May 4, 2026 By Tracy Cozzens Join the Discussion Visual localization is widely used as a low-cost solution for autonomous driving, robotics, and mobile navigation. However, monocular systems remain vulnerable to illumination changes, weak texture, occlusion, motion blur and long-term drift. Existing map-based methods can reduce that drift by aligning camera observations with a prebuilt global map, yet many still struggle with redundant computation, […] Read more » drift error inertial measurement unit lidar map-based localization visual drift
