Abstract:
A control computer includes a computer memory and a computer processor programmed to execute instructions stored in the memory to perform a lidar calibration test. The instructions include collecting texture data output by a lidar sensor, the texture data representing a detected texture of an interior surface of a first jig disposed about the lidar sensor, comparing the texture data output by the lidar sensor to a known texture of the interior surface of the first jig, determining that the lidar sensor needs to be calibrated as a result of comparing the texture data to the known texture, and calibrating the lidar sensor by uploading updated values for use with the lidar sensor.
