This basically includes a deep learning based approach to do keypoint detection, and match them across image frames. This includes papers like SuperPoint, Superglue, and more. There is also a way to do dense matching with neural networks.

How to train a CNN for a map localization task?

Feature matching is the way to go imo. Try out OpenCV's inbuilt feature matching methods like SIFT and FLANN. If the performance is poor, you can even try out CNN aided matching algos like SuperGlue Link (CVPR2020)
What is the SOTA for feature extraction / description / matching ?

SIFT and brute force matching is your best bet in classical computer vision if you're unconcerned with runtime. There are methods from deep learning that can perform better, somewhat domain dependent. Check out superpoint and superglue from magic leap. https://github.com/magicleap/SuperGluePretrainedNetwork
