Abstract

Systems and methods for performing auto-calibration for a target sensor from information gained by a reference sensor, thereby enabling cross-sensor self-calibration for a set of sensors. A method includes the step of obtaining a first mapping of a first observable scene from a first scene sensing device and a second mapping of a second observable scene from a second scene sensing device. The first and second scene sensing devices are positioned on a test object (e.g., vehicle) in a substantially fixed relationship with respect to each other. The first and second observable scenes have common reference objects and/or overlapping portions. The method also includes comparing the common reference object and/or overlapping portion of the first mapping with the common reference object and/or overlapping portion of the second mapping to determine a difference. Also, the method includes creating calibration parameters, based on the difference, for calibrating the second scene sensing device.
