Provided herein is a system and method for determining whether a sensor is calibrated and recalibrating of an uncalibrated sensor. The system comprises a sensor system comprising a sensor and an analysis engine configured to determine whether the sensor is uncalibrated. The system further comprises an error handling system configured to determine whether to perform a recalibration in response to the sensor system determining that the sensor is uncalibrated. The error handling system further comprises a recalibration engine configured to perform a recalibration.

System and method for recalibration of an uncalibrated sensor

Provided herein is a system and method for determining whether a sensor is calibrated and error handling of an uncalibrated sensor. The system comprises a sensor system comprising a sensor and an analysis engine configured to determine whether the sensor is uncalibrated. The system further comprises an error handling system configured to perform an error handling in response to the sensor system determining that the sensor is uncalibrated. The method comprises determining, by a sensor system, whether the sensor is uncalibrated, and performing, by an error handling system, an error handling in response to the sensor system determining that the sensor is uncalibrated.

System and method for error handling of an uncalibrated sensor

A system comprises a sensor system comprising a sensor and an analysis engine configured to determine whether the sensor is uncalibrated. The system further comprises an error handling system configured to determine whether to perform a recalibration in response to the sensor system determining that the sensor is uncalibrated. The error handling system further comprises a recalibration engine configured to perform a recalibration.

Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for triggering a sensor operation of a second sensor (e.g., a camera) based on a predicted time of alignment with a first sensor (e.g., a LiDAR), where operation of the second sensor is simulated to determine the predicted time of alignment. In this manner, the sensor data captured by the two sensors is ensured to be substantially synchronized with respect to the physical environment being sensed. This sensor data synchronization based on predicted alignment of the sensors solves the technical problem of lack of sensor coordination and sensor data synchronization that would otherwise result from the latency associated with communication between sensors and a centralized controller and/or between sensors themselves.

Sensor triggering based on sensor simulation

Provided herein is a system and method for calibrating sensors. The system comprises a sensor to capture first data, an analysis engine to determine whether the sensor is to be calibrated, and a communication engine to transmit the first data from the sensor to the analysis engine and transmit information to an error handling module that the sensor is to be calibrated, in response to a determination that the sensor is to be calibrated. The determining is based on a result from a first validation of the first data, which is based on a known parameter of the sensor or historical data.

System and method for determining whether to perform sensor calibration while minimizing system load

A lens mount apparatus mountable on a vehicle and a method for controlling a lens mount apparatus are described. The lens mount apparatus includes a plurality of lenses concentrically arranged around a center, and the plurality of lenses include a first lens having a first focal length and a second lens having a second focal length that is shorter than the first focal length. The method includes positioning one of the plurality of lenses, such that one of the lenses that has a focal length suitable for capturing an object is used for image capturing.
