Abstract: A polyhedral sensor target includes multiple surfaces. A housing, such as a vehicle, may include a camera and a distance measurement sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The housing may move between different positions during calibration, for instance by being rotated atop a turntable.

Abstract: To calibrate a set of sensors with respect to one another, such as the respective position and orientation of the sensors, a sensor calibration system uses a well-measured calibration scene in which the objects within the calibration scene have established positions, and optionally orientations (e.g., rotational directions), within the calibration scene and with respect to one another. The calibration scene is captured by a set of sensors to generate respective sensor views of the scene. Each sensor view is analyzed to detect control objects (e.g., features thereof) with respect to the coordinates of each sensor view. Using the known relationship of the calibration objects within the calibration scene, the sensors are calibrated to determine calibration parameters for a joint coordinate system that the maps the detected positions in the sensor view with the relative positions of the measured calibration scene.
