Disclosed are a calibration device, a calibration system and a calibration method. The calibration device includes a camera configured to capture image information, a laser sensor configured to capture image information, a laser sensor configured to detect distance information, and a calibration module configured to perform a calibration of the camera and the laser sensor by obtaining a relation between the image information and the distance information, wherein the calibration module includes a plane member disposed to intersect a scanning surface of the laser sensor such that an intersection line is generated, and disposed within a capturing range by the camera so as to be captured by the camera, and a controller configured to perform coordinate conversions with respect to the image information and the distance information based on a ratio between one side of the plane member and the intersection line, and based on a plane member image included in the image information. Under these configurations, a calibration is performed through direct coordinate conversions with respect to image information and distance information.

Device, system and method for calibration of camera and laser sensor

An apparatus for providing obstacle information in an autonomous mobile vehicle and a method thereof, in which a target object is determined to be what obstacle by combining pieces of information received from a laser distance sensor and radars, thereby enabling the autonomous driving of a vehicle. The apparatus and method for providing obstacle information in an autonomous mobile vehicle, which is capable of providing robust obstacle information not only in environments normal times, but also dust environments by combining a laser distance sensor and radars. A problem that an obstacle through which a mobile unit can pass, such as dust, is mistaken for an obstacle through which the mobile unit cannot pass can be solved.
