  • Patent number: 11486988
    Abstract: This disclosure relates, e.g., to a method for calibrating the alignment of a moving object sensor that comprises the steps: Detection of the movement of the object sensor, multiple detection of at least one static object by the moving object sensor at different positions of the object sensor, calculation of the relative positions of the static object with respect to the corresponding positions of the object sensor, calculation of anticipated positions of the static object from the relative positions while assuming an alignment error of the object sensor, calculation of an error parameter from the anticipated positions, and minimization of the error parameter by adapting the alignment error of the object sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11041729
    Abstract: A method for determining a global position of a first landmark is provided, wherein at least one first and one second measurement data set are recorded. A first reference point and a first recording space are assigned to the first measurement data set, and a second reference point and a second recording space are assigned to the second measurement data set. A spatial correlation of the first and second landmark relative to each other is determined using the first measurement data set. The global position of the first landmark relative to a global reference point is determined by determining a first and second relative position of the first landmark, by determining a first relative position of the second landmark, and by using the determined spatial correlation.

  • Publication number: 20190128678
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a global position of a first landmark, wherein at least one first and one second measurement data set are recorded. In doing so, a first reference point and a first recording space are assigned to the first measurement data set, and a second reference point and a second recording space are assigned to the second measurement data set. Furthermore, the first landmark is detected in the first and second recording space, whereas a second landmark is detected in the first recording space. By using the first measurement data set, first relative positions of the first and the second landmark are determined relative to the reference point of the first recording space. By using the second measurement data set, a second relative position of the first landmark is determined relative to the reference point of the second recording space.
