Abstract

The invention discloses a sensor external parameter calibration method and system. The method comprises the following steps of converting the first vehicle body pose under the vehicle coordinate system into a sensor coordinate system by using the conversion matrix; continuously iteratively adjusting the value of the conversion matrix until the nonlinear optimization error between a second vehiclebody pose sequence obtained by conversion and a sensor pose sequence is minimum when the first vehicle body pose sequence is converted into the sensor coordinate system through the conversion matrix;when the nonlinear optimization error is minimum, determining the value of the angle offset and / or the position offset in the conversion matrix as the external parameter of the sensor, wherein the sensor is a visual sensor or a laser radar. According to the present invention, the calibration of external parameters of the sensor can be completed under the condition that no extra marker is arranged,and the calibration efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, parameters of six degrees of freedom of the sensor can be automatically calibrated, and parameters of three degrees of freedom of rotation or three degrees of freedom of translation in the sensor can be manually calibrated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic driving, in particular to a method and system for calibrating external parameters of a sensor. Background technique [0002] The multi-sensor fusion solution has basically become one of the most mainstream technical solutions for autonomous driving. When fusing multiple sensor data, it is first necessary to unify the coordinate system of each sensor data. In general, different sensor data can be unified to the vehicle coordinate system with the vehicle as the origin. This requires calibration of the conversion relationship between the sensor coordinate system and the vehicle coordinate system (ie, the external parameters of the sensor). [0003] The current calibration scheme usually needs to arrange fixed markers on the calibration site, and the calibration site is the world coordinate system; then use the sensor to measure the markers (such as using a camera to take pictures of the markers) t...
