Patent ID: 11592539

Abstract:
Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for performing an alignment between a first vehicle sensor and a second vehicle sensor. Two-dimensional (2D) data indicative of a scene within an environment being traversed by a vehicle is captured by the first vehicle sensor such as a camera or a collection of multiple cameras within a sensor assembly. A three-dimensional (3D) representation of the scene is constructed using the 2D data. 3D point cloud data also indicative of the scene is captured by the second vehicle sensor, which may be a LiDAR. A 3D point cloud representation of the scene is constructed based on the 3D point cloud data. A rigid transformation is determined between the 3D representation of the scene and the 3D point cloud representation of the scene and the alignment between the sensors is performed based at least in part on the determined rigid transformation.
