Abstract
Methods and systems for determining whether a camera of an autonomous vehicle (AV) is calibrated are disclosed. The method includes using image frames captured by a camera of the AV and LIDAR point clouds captured by a LIDAR system of the AV to calculate an AV pose calibration metric. The method also includes: measuring a distance metric between a three-dimensional bounding box around an object and a two-dimensional bounding box in an image captured by the camera; using the AV pose calibration metric and the distance calibration metric to generate a confidence score; and in response to the confidence score being below a threshold, generating a signal indicating that the camera is not calibrated.
