Abstract
An extrinsic calibration method of multiple 3D LiDAR sensors for an autonomous navigation system is proposed, the method including collecting point clouds by each of the multiple 3D LiDAR sensors; extracting multiple target planes corresponding to a plane from the point clouds of each of the 3D LiDAR sensors; by using the target plane of any one of the multiple 3D LiDAR sensors as a reference plane, detecting a corresponding plane from the target planes of each of the remaining of the 3D LiDAR sensors on the basis of a similarity with the reference plane; calculating initial extrinsic parameters for matching between the reference plane and the corresponding plane based on plane parameters of the reference plane and corresponding plane corresponding to each other; and calculating final extrinsic parameters that minimize variance of measurement points for the reference plane and corresponding plane, on the basis of the initial extrinsic parameters.
