METHOD FOR CALIBRATING THE POSITION OF A CAMERA AND A LIDAR SENSOR WITH A CALIBRATION PANEL AND A POSITION CALIBRATION SYSTEM

The method for position calibration serves to fuse images (13, 15) from a camera (1) and a lidar sensor (2). The camera (1) captures an image (13) of a calibration board (11), wherein based on known patterns (12) the pose of the calibration board (11) relative to the camera (1) can be determined. The lidar sensor (2) captures an image (15) of the calibration board (11), wherein based on additional reflection areas (14) on the calibration board (11) a pose of the calibration board (11) relative to the lidar sensor (2) can be determined. Based on both poses, images (13, 15) subsequently captured by the camera (1) and/or the lidar sensor (2) can each be converted into a common coordinate system or into the coordinate system of the other image (13, 15). Thereby, objects (7) detected in one image (13, 15) can be verified in another image (15, 13).
