The localization accuracy is clearly improved with the proposed solution this is

enhanced by the good alignment between the resulting 3D point cloud and the build-

ings model where considering the fusion of VSLAM with the raw GPS, data gaps

can be observed between the resulting 3D points and the buildings model. Using a

complete GIS model (buildings and DEM) to improve the fusion of VSLAM and

GPS data yields accurate 6DoF localization that fulll the quality criteria required

by aided navigation application as illustrated in Figure 17.2.
