AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to effectively verify the calibration status of multiple environmental detection sensors in vehicle environments, especially in non-overlapping scan areas and unmapped environments, and require reliance on map verification or identification of common targets.

Method used

By determining the homogeneous coordinate transformation, the coordinates of the sensor coordinate system are converted to the vehicle coordinate system. The sensor misalignment state is identified by using relative velocity and vehicle motion model, and the calibration state is verified by statistical methods without relying on maps and common targets.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables more reliable verification of sensor calibration status in non-overlapping scan areas and unmapped environments, improving the reliability and fault tolerance of vehicle attitude recognition and reducing reliance on maps and target recognition.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for validating a plurality of environment detection sensors fixedly connected to a vehicle (1) for respectively capturing a relative velocity (V1-V7, Vn) with respect to a corresponding sensor coordinate system (S1-S7, Sn). In an extrinsic calibration, for each sensor coordinate system (S1-S7, Sn) a homogeneous coordinate transformation with respect to a vehicle coordinate system (V) fixedly connected to the vehicle (1) is determined. From this for each relative velocity (V1-V7, Vn) a target velocity (X1-X7, Xn) with respect to the vehicle coordinate system (V) and / or a parameter of a vehicle (1) motion model is determined. When the target velocities (X1-X7, Xn) differ from each other and / or with respect to the vehicle (1) motion model by more than a predetermined value, a misalignment state (C0) is assigned. The invention also relates to a vehicle (1) having a plurality of environment detection sensors and at least one computing unit for carrying out such a method.
