Abstract

Provided are methods, systems, and computer program products for image based LiDAR-camera synchronization. An example method may include: obtaining an image from an image sensor; detecting at least one edge of a pattern in the image, the pattern corresponding to at least one electromagnetic wave emitted from a rangefinder system; determining an offset between the pattern and the image based on the at least one edge of the pattern; determining the offset satisfies a synchronization threshold; and based on the determining the offset satisfies a synchronization threshold, adjusting a synchronization parameter of the image sensor or rangefinder system.
