    Abstract: The present technology is directed to determining an accuracy of an infrared (IR) camera, and more particularly, validating a distortion accuracy of an IR camera. The present technology can receive one or more images of a calibration harp captured by the IR camera, wherein the one or more images include a plurality of lines corresponding to a plurality of strings of the calibration harp. The present technology can further determine a degree of distortion of the plurality of lines based on a distortion error coefficient, wherein the distortion error coefficient is computed based on edge points of the plurality of lines on the one or more images.

    Abstract: A polyhedral sensor target includes multiple surfaces. A housing, such as a vehicle, may include a camera and a distance measurement sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The housing may move between different positions during calibration, for instance by being rotated atop a turntable. The camera and distance measurement sensor may both capture data during calibration, from which visual and distance measurement representations of the polyhedral sensor target are identified. The camera and distance measurement sensor are calibrated based on their respective representations, for example by mapping vertices within the representations to the same location.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for focal length validation may include receiving, by a computing system, initial image data for an optical target from a camera. The method may also include determining a distortion parameter associated with the camera, based on the initial image data. The method may also include receiving, by the computing system, a first image of the optical target, wherein the first image is associated with a first position of the camera. The method may also include receiving, by the computing system, a second image of the optical target, wherein the second image is associated with a second position of the camera. The method may also include determining an estimated displacement between the first position of the camera and the second position of the camera based on the first image and the second image. The method may further include determining a focal length based on the estimated displacement and a measured displacement of the camera between the first position and the second position.

    Abstract: To calibrate a set of sensors with respect to one another, such as the respective position and orientation of the sensors, a sensor calibration system uses a well-measured calibration scene in which the objects within the calibration scene have established positions, and optionally orientations (e.g., rotational directions), within the calibration scene and with respect to one another. The calibration scene is captured by a set of sensors to generate respective sensor views of the scene. Each sensor view is analyzed to detect control objects (e.g., features thereof) with respect to the coordinates of each sensor view. Using the known relationship of the calibration objects within the calibration scene, the sensors are calibrated to determine calibration parameters for a joint coordinate system that the maps the detected positions in the sensor view with the relative positions of the measured calibration scene.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for using a self-illuminating harp to calibrate for distortion. In particular, apparatus, methods and systems are provided for imaging and analyzing self-illuminated harp in order to correct for lens distortion. In various implementations, an array of media is strung plumb which resembles a harp. The media can be light fibers or other suitable material which can be strung in a straight line. The cores of translucent fibers are illuminated. These are configured to scatter light throughout their bulk which escapes the core by egressing along the length of fiber. This light produces plumb lines which can be imaged, analyzed and model. In some implementations, imaging is performed by rotation to include a full FOV.
