Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a sensor synchronization system. Sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV) are synchronized to cause sampling of a first sensor of the sensors to occur in alignment with sampling of a second sensor of the sensors. A sampling time point for the first sensor is determined based on the synchronizing the sensors, the sampling time point comprising a time when the first sensor is in alignment with the second sensor. The sampling time point is provided to the first sensor. A controller circuit of the first sensor determines an offset of the first sensor to apply to a local system time of the first sensor to cause a data acquisition of the first sensor to occur at the sampling time point. The data acquisition is performed at the first sensor using the sampling time point and the offset.
