Abstract
Systems and methods for calibrating deformable sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of calibrating a deformable sensor includes capturing image data of the deformable sensor using an external image sensor, wherein the deformable sensor comprises a deformable membrane defining an enclosure that is configured to be filled with a medium. The method further includes comparing the image data of the deformable sensor to a metric. When the image data does not satisfy the metric, the method includes adjusting a pressure within the enclosure.
