Abstract

See full text

According to an aspect of an embodiment, operations may comprise receiving a LIDAR scan of a scene from a LIDAR of a vehicle with the scene comprising a board, detecting the board in the LIDAR scan, fitting a plane through LIDAR coordinates corresponding to the detected board, projecting the plane from the LIDAR coordinates to a first set of camera coordinates, detecting the board in a camera image from a camera of the vehicle at a second set of camera coordinates, and calibrating the LIDAR of the vehicle and the camera of the vehicle by determining a transform between the first set of camera coordinates and the second set of camera coordinates.
