  • Publication number: 20250155268
    Abstract: An apparatus for calibrating vehicle sensors comprising a mat and at least one target assembly. The mat is placed in a specified location in relation to a vehicle subject to a calibration process, and the target assembly is placed in relation to the mat. The target assembly comprises adjustable components to control the vertical placement, roll, and pitch of the target with respect to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230168113
    Abstract: A calibration apparatus and method suitable for calibration of an offset sensor of a subject vehicle. The calibration apparatus comprises a reference structure that is placed into a reference locus using image data generated by a camera associated with the reference structure. An offset-target structure is then placed into position by coupling the offset-target structure to the reference structure, the coupling providing an appropriate locus for the offset-target structure during calibration of the offset sensor. The coupling restricts the linear and rotational displacement of the offset-target structure during calibration.
