  • Patent number: 10796453
    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 generating a transformation based on mapping positions of these representations in the data to known positions of the sensor targets, such as to correct lens distortion, the transformation applied to post-calibration sensor data.
