Abstract
A method and an apparatus for calibrating an external parameter of a camera are provided. The method may include: acquiring a time-synchronized data set of three-dimensional point clouds and two-dimensional image of a calibration reference object, the two-dimensional image being acquired by a camera with a to-be-calibrated external parameter; establishing a transformation relationship between a point cloud coordinate system and an image coordinate system, the transformation relationship including a transformation parameter; back-projecting the data set of the three-dimensional point clouds onto a plane where the two-dimensional image is located through the transformation relationship to obtain a set of projection points of the three-dimensional point clouds; adjusting the transformation parameter to map the set of the projection points onto the two-dimensional image; and obtaining an external parameter of the camera based on the adjusted transformation parameter and the data set of the three-dimensional point clouds.
