Abstract
A computing system receives first sensor data including moving objects and multi-modal LiDAR map data wherein the first sensor is calibrated based on a cost function that alternates between LiDAR map point cloud data and LiDAR map ground reflectivity data as input. The computing system can operate the vehicle based on the moving objects.
