Visual localization is a fundamental capability in robotics and has been well studied for
recent decades. Although many state-of-the-art algorithms have been proposed, great
success usually builds on the assumption that the working environment is static. In most of

Visual localization is a fundamental capability in robotics and has been well studied for recent decades. Although many state-of-the-art algorithms have been proposed, great success usually builds on the assumption that the working environment is static. In most of the real scenes, the assumption cannot hold because there are inevitably moving objects, especially humans, which significantly degrade the localization accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a robust visual localization system building on top of a feature-based visual simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm. We design a dynamic region detection method and use it to preprocess the input frame. The detection process is achieved in a Bayesian framework which considers both the prior knowledge generated from an object detection process and observation information. After getting the detection result, feature points extracted from only the static regions will be used for further visual localization. We performed the experiments on the public TUM data set and our recorded data set, which shows the daily dynamic scenarios. Both qualitative and quantitative results are provided to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
