METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CALIBRATING AN ENVIRONMENT DEPTH SENSOR

A device and method for calibrating the yaw angle of an environment depth sensor borne by a vehicle, which includes: a step of storage of data regarding planar surfaces identified by the environment depth sensor, these data including at least information regarding the orientation of the planar surfaces; a step of statistical analysis of the data stored in the database, able to identify a predominant planar-surface orientation, this orientation being parallel to the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle; a step of computation of a calibration angle, made between this predominant planar-surface orientation, parallel to the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and the environment depth sensor.
