Abstract:

For the temporal calibration of data fusion of Lidar, image sensor and inertial measurement unit (IMU) in the perception system of autonomous vehicles, the calibration equipment, system and test method are designed by using the characteristics of Lidar. Based on the trigger case of Lidar and the sensing characteristics of on-board image sensor, the on-line temporal calibration of the two sensors is realized, and the effectiveness of this method is verified by oscilloscope measurement. Based on the correlation between Lidar scanning frequency and trigger case time difference, the time base of Lidar and inertial measurement unit is calibrated by combining the calibration system of Lidar and inertial measurement unit, and the effectiveness of the method is proved by the inertial measurement unit calibration test.

Key words: autonomous vehicles, multi-sensor fusion, temporal calibration
