Abstract:

A method includes providing a fixture including a target in a field of view of a sensor mounted to a vehicle. The target is detectable by the sensor. The fixture includes a first rangefinding device and a second rangefinding device spaced from the first rangefinding device. The method includes measuring a first angle and first distance from the first rangefinding device to a first known point on the vehicle; measuring a second angle and second distance from the second rangefinding device to a second known point on the vehicle; determining a position and orientation of the target in a coordinate system relative to the vehicle based on the first angle, the first distance, the second angle, and the second distance; and calibrating the sensor based on the position and orientation of the target.
