Abstract
A system for monitoring radar misalignment on an autonomous vehicle is provided. The system includes a radar sensor configured to capture sensor data. The radar sensor is disposed on an autonomous vehicle traveling along a trajectory. The system also includes an autonomy computing system comprising a processor and a memory storing computer executable instructions. The processor, upon executing the computer executable instructions, configured to: generate a radar coordinate system from the sensor data, identify a static object from the sensor data, compute a vehicle coordinate system based on the static object. The system further includes computing a misalignment between the radar coordinate system and the vehicle coordinate system based on a comparison of an orientation of the radar coordinate system and an orientation of the vehicle coordinate system, and generate a sensor data transformation to align the sensor data to the vehicle coordinate system.
