Abstract
Radar sensor alignment validation may ensure a relative position and/or orientation of two or more radar sensors. Radar sensor alignment validation may include determining whether radar data used to determine a sensor alignment is usable for validation and/or determining whether the sensor alignment itself is accurate. This may include iteratively altering a sensor alignment by changing at least one sensor's relative pose, re-determining altered radar data using the altered pose, and determining an updated sensor alignment for the altered radar data. This process may be iterated and metrics may be determined for multiple updated sensor alignments determined this way. These metrics may be used to determine suitability of the underlying radar data for validation and/or an accuracy of the sensor alignment. A validated radar sensor alignment may be used as part of controlling an autonomous vehicle.
