The invention provides an external parameter calibration method and device and
electronic equipment, and the method can obtain image data collected by a camera and
point cloud data collected by a
laser radar, and calculates a predicted external parameter calibration parameter between the camera and the
laser radar based on the image data and the
point cloud data. And calculating an external
parameter error value based on the predicted external parameter calibration parameter and the current external parameter calibration parameter. And when the external
parameter error value satisfies a correction condition, extracting a visual
semantic feature of the target object in the image data and a
point cloud semantic feature of the target object in the point
cloud data, and calculating a matching error value of the visual
semantic feature and the point cloud semantic feature. And constructing a
graph optimization framework based on the matching error value and the external
parameter error value, solving a target external parameter calibration parameter corresponding to the minimum matching error value based on the
graph optimization framework, and updating the current external parameter calibration parameter into the target external parameter calibration parameter. According to the method, the external parameter calibration parameter change between the camera and the
laser radar can be automatically monitored, and the external parameter calibration parameter can be automatically corrected.
