Abstract: Sensors coupled to a vehicle are calibrated using a dynamic scene with sensor targets around a motorized turntable that rotates the vehicle to different orientations. The sensors capture data at each vehicle orientation along the rotation. The vehicle's computer identifies representations of the sensor targets within the data captured by the sensors, and calibrates the sensor based on these representations, for example by comparing these representations to previously stored information about the sensor targets and generating a correction based on differences, the correction applied to post-calibration sensor data.

Abstract: The subject technology is related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and, in particular, to calibration of an sensors of an AV on open roads after calibrating the sensors in an undefined training area. An example method includes calibrating a plurality of sensors of the AV based on performing a plurality of training steps of increasing complexity within the undefined environment, wherein the plurality of sensors of the AV are uncalibrated with respect to each other, determining that the AV satisfies an open road requirement to navigate an open road based on completing the plurality of training steps in the undefined environment, and operating the AV on open roads subject to at least one constraint. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one constraint comprises a list of prohibited maneuvers that limit operation of the AV on open roads. The constraints are configured to dynamically change.

Abstract: A sensor calibration target includes dark markings on a light substrate. The dark markings absorb more heat from a heat source than the light substrate, and are visually distinguishable from the light substrate. Thus, the dark markings are discernable by the both a camera and an infrared sensor of a vehicle during vehicle sensor calibration. The sensor calibration target may otherwise non-metallic but include a metallic feature for calibrating a radio detection and ranging (RADAR) sensor. The sensor calibration target may also include one or more apertures in the substrate for calibrating a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor.

The sensors capture data at each orientation along the rotation. The vehicle's computer identifies representations of the sensor targets within the data captured by the sensors, and calibrates the sensor based on these representations. The motorized turntable may confirm that rotation has stopped to the vehicle to trigger sensor capture, and the vehicle may communicate completion of sensor capture at an orientation to the motorized turntable to trigger further rotation.

Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for a calibration check process of sensors on an autonomous vehicle (AV) via a drive-through environment mapped with a series of targets. The targets are used to check the calibration of the sensors on the AV as a quality check before the AV is determined fit to drive autonomously. Supervising a calibration process that collects data from the sensors on the AV based on exposure to a series of targets or augmented camera targets. The collected data may be used for extrinsic calibration aimed to determine that extrinsic parameters that define the rigid relationship between sensors are in set checker bounds.

Abstract: The subject technology is related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and, in particular, to calibrating multiple sensors of an AV in an undefined training area. An example method includes instructing the AV to pilot itself in an undefined training area subject to at least one constraint, wherein the AV is instructed to pilot itself along a path until the AV has overlapped at least a portion of the path, and at a location at which the AV has overlapped at least the portion of the path, determining that first returns from a previous LIDAR scan overlaps with second returns from a subsequent LIDAR scan taken when the AV has overlapped at least the portion of the path. Initially, the AV does not include a location reference to identify locations of objects in the undefined training area and a plurality of sensors of the AV are uncalibrated with respect to each other.
