Observability-Aware Active Calibration of Multi-Sensor Extrinsics for Ground Robots via Online Trajectory Optimization

Background

We propose an observability-based active multi-sensor extrinsic calibration method, achieving high-precision sensor calibration through online trajectory optimization.

Methodology

Our method includes the following key steps:

  1. Sensor observability analysis
  2. Online trajectory optimization utilizing B-spline curve
  3. Real-time extrinsic calibration

For detailed method and results, please refer to our poster/paper.
