1. A method for automatic generation of a localization geometry, the method comprising:

  • receiving point cloud data collected by a distance sensor and describing a vicinity of a pathway;

    reducing, by a processor, the point cloud data to a predetermined volume with respect to the pathway;

    projecting, by the processor, the point cloud data to a two-dimensional plane including at least one pixel formation;

    defining, by the processor, a volumetric grid according to the at least one pixel formation;

    determining, by the processor, a voxel occupancy for each of a plurality of voxels forming the volumetric grid; and

    generating, by the processor, the localization geometry according to the voxel occupancy.
