Validating Vehicle Sensor Calibration

Abstract:

Examples disclosed herein involve a computing system configured to (i) obtain first sensor data captured by a first sensor of a vehicle during a given period of operation of the vehicle (ii) obtain second sensor data captured by a second sensor of the vehicle during the given period of operation of the vehicle, (iii) based on the first sensor data, localize the first sensor within a first coordinate frame of a first map layer, (iv) based on the second sensor data, localize the second sensor within a second coordinate frame of a second map layer, (v) based on a known transformation between the first coordinate frame and the second coordinate frame, determine respective poses for the first sensor and the second sensor in a common coordinate frame, and (vi) determine (a) a translation and (b) a rotation between the respective poses for the first and second sensors in the common coordinate frame.
