Abstract: A camera of a vehicle has a field of view. A perception module of the vehicle is configured to determine a location of an object relative to the vehicle based on a model for the camera and a camera ground truth orientation of the camera. A calibration module is configured to: wirelessly receive images from the camera; determine a vehicle camera target based on the images; when the vehicle camera target is aligned with a calibration module target on the calibration module, determine a present orientation of the calibration module measured using a gyroscope of the calibration module; when at least one component of the present orientation of the calibration module is different than the at least one component of an expected orientation of the calibration module, determine an updated camera ground truth orientation of the camera; and wirelessly transmit the updated ground truth orientation to the vehicle.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect features external to the vehicle, an HMI configured to signal an alert to an operator of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the sensor and the HMI, and is in communication with a non-transient computer-readable storage medium provided with a road furniture database. The road furniture database includes a plurality of items of road furniture having associated road furniture geolocations and road furniture classifications. The controller is configured to, in response to the vehicle being proximate a respective road furniture geolocation for a respective item of road furniture and the sensor not detecting the respective item of road furniture, control the HMI to signal an alert.
