Abstract

Methods and systems for determining whether a camera of an autonomous vehicle (AV) is calibrated are disclosed. The method includes determining a relative positional range for a calibration target with respect to the AV, capturing a plurality of images of the calibration target, using the camera when the calibration target and the AV are positioned within the relative positional range, measuring a camera-based calibration factor and a motion-based validation factor based on the plurality of images for generating a confidence score, and generating a signal indicating that the camera is not calibrated when the confidence score is below a threshold.
