Abstract

Methods and systems calibrating LiDAR sensors mounted on a vehicle and having non-overlapping fields of view (FOVs). The methods include collecting first sensor data corresponding to a calibration environment from a first LiDAR sensor mounted on the vehicle, and second sensor data corresponding to the calibration environment from a second sensor LiDAR sensor mounted on the vehicle. The methods also include transforming the first sensor data to generate a first aligned frame in a global reference frame, and transforming the second sensor data to generate a second aligned frame in the global reference frame. The first reference frame is aligned with the second reference frame to extrinsically calibrate the first LiDAR sensor and the second LiDAR sensor.
