Abstract

A method for in-line sensor calibration are provided, comprising: obtaining sensor data from a plurality of sensors of different types coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while the UAV is in flight, wherein the plurality of sensors have an initial spatial configuration relative to one another; detecting, with aid of a processor, a change in a spatial configuration of the plurality of sensors relative to one another from the initial spatial configuration to a subsequent spatial configuration, based on the sensor data; determining the subsequent spatial configuration; and adjusting data, while the UAV is in flight, from at least one of the plurality of sensors based on the subsequent spatial configuration. The disclosure also relates to an apparatus for sensor calibration.
