    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sets of measurement parameters associated with a sensed object and respectively captured by sensors. The method includes determining a relative orientation between the sensors based on comparison of the received sets of measurement parameters. The method includes determining one or more calibration factors based on comparing the determined relative orientation between sensors to an expected relative orientation between the sensors. The method includes applying at least one of the determined calibration factors to one or more of the measurement parameters captured by the sensors.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes detecting multiple reference markers on a vehicle and multiple reference markers on a sensor array attached to the vehicle. The method includes determining a pose of the vehicle and a pose of the sensor array based on the detected reference markers on the vehicle and sensor array and a model of the vehicle and sensor array that includes expected locations of the detected reference markers on the vehicle and sensor array. The method includes computing an observed relative orientation between the sensor array and the vehicle based on a comparison of the determined pose of the sensor array and vehicle. The method includes determining a calibration factor for a sensor of the sensor array based on a comparison of the observed relative orientation between the sensor array and the vehicle to an expected relative orientation between the sensor array and the vehicle.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a facility for calibrating sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a camera calibration target configured to be measured by and used for calibrating an optical camera of the AV; a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) calibration target configured to be measured by and used for calibrating a LiDAR transceiver of the AV; and a platform configured to allow the AV to drive onto and park on the platform. The camera calibration target and the LiDAR calibration target are positioned to be detectable by the optical camera and the LiDAR transceiver while the AV is parked on the platform. The platform is further configured to modify a lateral position, height, or orientation of the optical camera and the LiDAR transceiver relative to the camera calibration target and the LiDAR calibration target while the AV is parked on the platform.

    Abstract: A method includes capturing, by a plurality of image sensors on an automotive vehicle, image data associated with one or more calibration objects in an environment, and capturing, by a LiDAR sensor, a three-dimensional LiDAR point cloud based on LiDAR data. The method further comprises generating a three-dimensional image point cloud based on the image data and the three-dimensional LiDAR point cloud, mapping a first alignment plane of the three-dimensional image point cloud relative to a second alignment plane of the three-dimensional LiDAR point cloud for each of the calibration objects to determine an angle between the first alignment plane and second alignment plane, and calibrating the LiDAR sensor relative to the image sensors by determining a degree of rotation of the LiDAR sensor to minimize the angle between the first alignment plane and second alignment plane.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing first image data generated by a first image sensor having a first filter array that has a first filter pattern. The first filter pattern includes a number of first filter types. The method also includes accessing second image data generated by a second image sensor having a second filter array that has a second filter pattern different from the first filter pattern. The second filter pattern includes a number of second filter types, the number of second filter types and the number of first filter types have at least one filter type in common. The method also includes determining a correspondence between one or more first pixels of the first image data and one or more second pixels of the second image data based on a portion of the first image data associated with the filter type in common.
