A calibration board, also known as a calibration board, is a tool used to calibrate the accuracy of a sensor. It usually has specific geometry and reflection characteristics that are used to ensure that the sensor system can perform its tasks accurately and efficiently. The calibration board is mainly divided into LiDAR calibration board and camera calibration board (such as AVM calibration board), and each calibration board has its specific application scenario.
The LiDAR calibration board is mainly used to calibrate the liDAR sensor to ensure that it can accurately identify obstacles such as roads, vehicles, and pedestrians in the autonomous driving system. The camera calibration board is mainly used to calibrate the camera system, such as the AVM (panoramic view) system, to ensure that the image stitching accuracy, viewing Angle range, resolution and other performance indicators meet the standard.
Second, the application status of the calibration board in the automotive industry
Self-driving car
Autonomous vehicle is one of the most widely used areas of calibration board. In the autonomous driving system, the LiDAR calibration board is used to calibrate the vehicle's perception system to ensure that the vehicle can accurately identify obstacles and provide a reliable guarantee for safe driving. By placing multiple calibration panels during the calibration process, the external parameters of the LIDAR and the body can be solved using known body positions, the location of the calibration panels, and liDAR tools, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the automated driving system.
Automotive manufacturing and testing
In the automotive manufacturing process, the calibration board also plays an important role. For example, on the production line, AVM calibration boards can be used to calibrate parameters such as the position, Angle and focal length of AVM cameras, ensuring that the AVM system is working properly for each vehicle. In addition, the calibration board can also be used for quality inspection, providing a standard test environment for the detection of AVM system image stitching accuracy, viewing Angle range, resolution and other performance indicators, to ensure that each vehicle AVM system can provide high-quality images.
Car repair and maintenance
The calibration board is also widely used in the field of automobile repair and maintenance. When the AVM system of the car fails, the maintenance personnel can use the calibration board to diagnose the problem, quickly locate the fault and take appropriate maintenance measures. In addition, during the system upgrade process, the calibration board also ensures that the new system is compatible with other components of the vehicle and provides accurate images.
3D mapping and industrial inspection
In addition to autonomous driving and automotive manufacturing, calibration boards also play an important role in areas such as three-dimensional mapping and industrial inspection. In geographic information system (GIS), urban planning, building surveying and other fields, LiDAR calibration board as a reference to ensure the accuracy and consistency of surveying and mapping data. In the production line, the LiDAR calibration board is used to calibrate and verify automated inspection equipment, such as robot arms, automated scanning equipment, etc., to ensure product quality and production efficiency.
