Patent attributes
A system and method for registering range images from objects detected by multiple LiDAR sensors on a vehicle. The method includes aligning frames of data from at least two LiDAR sensors having over-lapping field-of-views in a sensor signal fusion operation so as to track objects detected by the sensors. The method defines a transformation value for at least one of the LiDAR sensors that identifies an orientation angle and position of the sensor and provides target scan points from the objects detected by the sensors where the target scan points for each sensor provide a separate target point map. The method projects the target point map from the at least one sensor to another one of the LiDAR sensors using a current transformation value to overlap the target scan points from the sensors.
