Abstract: Embodiments include apparatus and methods for automatic detection of pole-like objects for a location at a region of a roadway and automatic localization based on the detected pole-like objects. Pole-like objects are modeled as cylinders and the models are generated based on detected vertical clusters of point cloud data associated to corresponding regions along the region of the roadway. The modeled pole-like objects are stored in a database and associated with the region of the roadway. Sensor data from a user located at the region of the roadway is received. The pole-like object model is accessed and compared to the received sensor data. Based on the comparison, localization of the user located at the region of the roadway is performed.
