Abstract:
A system for automatically calibrating sensors of a vehicle includes an electronic control unit, a projector communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit, a first sensor communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit, and a second sensor communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to project, with the projector, a calibration pattern onto a surface, capture, with the first sensor, a first portion of the calibration pattern, capture, with the second sensor, a second portion of the calibration pattern, and calibrate the first sensor and the second sensor based on at least one feature sensed within the first portion of the calibration pattern and the second portion of the calibration pattern.
