System and method for validating readings of orientation sensor mounted on autonomous ground vehicle

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to method and system for validating readings of orientation sensor mounted on autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). The method may include receiving distances and angles of observation of at least two fixed objects with respect to AGV at a first position and then at a second position, calculating a first orientation and a second orientation of AGV at the first position and at the second position respectively based on the distances, the angles of observation, and coordinate positions of each of the at least two fixed objects, determining an actual change in orientation of AGV based on the first orientation and the second orientation, and validating the readings of the orientation sensor based on the actual change in orientation. The at least two fixed objects are objects with pre-identified properties in a field of view of a vision sensor mounted on AGV and on both sides of AGV.
