Abstract
Systems and methods for calibrating a LiDAR device are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the system comprises a LiDAR device, a continuous curved target at a fixed distance from the LiDAR device, and a calibration controller operable to perform a reflectance over range calibration of the LiDAR device. The LiDAR device scans portions of the continuous curved target at different ranges during the calibration.
