Multimodal sensor calibration is critical for achieving sensor fusion for robotics, autonomous vehicles, mapping, and other perception-driven applications. Traditional calibration methods, which rely on structured environments with checkerboards or targets, are complex, expensive, time-consuming, and don’t scale. An automatic sensor calibration solution that simplifies the calibration…
