This paper reports on an algorithm for automatic, targetless, extrinsic calibration of a lidar
and optical camera system based upon the maximization of mutual information between the …

This paper reports on a mutual information (MI) based algorithm for automatic extrinsic
calibration of a 3D laser scanner and optical camera system. By using MI as the registration …

In this paper, we describe a new approach for the extrinsic calibration of a camera with a 3D
laser range finder, that can be done on the fly. This approach does not require any …

Fusion of laser range finder (LRF) and camera is widely used in the field of intelligent mobile
robots for performing various tasks, such as autonomous navigation, 2D or 3D mapping …

This paper presents a novel way to address the extrinsic calibration problem for a system
composed of a 3D LIDAR and a camera. The relative transformation between the two …

We propose an approach for external calibration of a 3D laser scanner with an
omnidirectional camera system. The utility of an accurate calibration is that it allows for …

We present a new method for joint automatic extrinsic calibration and sensor fusion for a
multimodal sensor system comprising a LIDAR and an optical camera. Our approach …

With growing demands for accuracy in sensor fusion, increasing attention is being paid to
temporal offsets as a source of deterministic error when processing data from multiple …

In this paper, we examine the problem of extrinsic calibration of multiple LIDARs on a mobile
vehicle platform. To achieve fully automated and on-line calibration, the original non-linear …

Color-depth cameras (RGB-D cameras) have become the primary sensors in most robotics
systems, from service robotics to industrial robotics applications. Typical consumer-grade …
