A method, comprising: capturing, by a camera of an image capturing module, a first image of a target, wherein: the image capturing module and a drum are attached to a fixture, wherein the drum is adapted to rotate about an axis such as to simulate a roadway moving under the image capturing module; and the target is attached to the drum, wherein the target includes a calibration pattern; determining a number of lateral pixels in a lateral pitch distance of the image of the target; determining a lateral object pixel size based on the number of lateral pixels; determining a drum encoder rate based on the lateral object pixel size, wherein the drum encoder rate is programmed into a drum encoder attached to the drum, wherein the drum encoder rate corresponds to a number of electrical pulses generated by the drum encoder in one revolution of a shaft of the drum encoder, or the drum encoder rate is calculated using a circumference of the drum and the lateral object pixel size; capturing, by the camera of the image capturing module, a second image of the target while the target is rotated about the axis of the drum; determining a number of longitudinal pixels in a longitudinal pitch distance of the second image; and comparing the number of lateral pixels to the number of longitudinal pixels and determining, based on the comparison, that the image capturing module is calibrated; wherein a lateral direction is parallel to the axis of the drum, and a longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the axis. capturing, by a camera of an image capturing module, a first image of a target, wherein: the image capturing module and a drum are attached to a fixture, wherein the drum is adapted to rotate about an axis such as to simulate a roadway moving under the image capturing module; and the target is attached to the drum, wherein the target includes a calibration pattern; the image capturing module and a drum are attached to a fixture, wherein the drum is adapted to rotate about an axis such as to simulate a roadway moving under the image capturing module; and the target is attached to the drum, wherein the target includes a calibration pattern; determining a number of lateral pixels in a lateral pitch distance of the image of the target; determining a lateral object pixel size based on the number of lateral pixels; determining a drum encoder rate based on the lateral object pixel size, wherein the drum encoder rate is programmed into a drum encoder attached to the drum, wherein the drum encoder rate corresponds to a number of electrical pulses generated by the drum encoder in one revolution of a shaft of the drum encoder, or the drum encoder rate is calculated using a circumference of the drum and the lateral object pixel size; capturing, by the camera of the image capturing module, a second image of the target while the target is rotated about the axis of the drum; determining a number of longitudinal pixels in a longitudinal pitch distance of the second image; and comparing the number of lateral pixels to the number of longitudinal pixels and determining, based on the comparison, that the image capturing module is calibrated; wherein a lateral direction is parallel to the axis of the drum, and a longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the axis.
