Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for calibrating a sensor. An object is placed in a field of view of the sensor at a known location. The object is moved (e.g., rotated) in a known manner. Data from the sensor is processed to detect an object image moving in the known manner. An apparent location of the object is determined from the object image. The apparent location is compared to the known location of the object to determine an offset. The offset is stored and used to adjust future detected locations of objects.
