We propose a scheme for high-precision two-dimensional (2D) sub-wavelength atom localization in a tripod-type atomic system. The position information of a moving atom can be obtained by measuring the probe field absorption when the atom interacts with a weak probe field and two orthogonal standing-wave fields. It is found that sub-wavelength atom localization can be obtained under the condition of two-photon resonance. Remarkably, the localization precision can be significantly improved by changing the strength of the coherent coupling fields in the presence of superposition of coherent coupling field and standing-wave field.
