Abstract

When a combination of a plurality of sensors is used for obstacle detection, the present invention is to detect the relative positions of the sensors, to correct inter-sensor parameters, and to provide accurate obstacle detection. This calibration system is provided with a first landmark detecting unit for detecting the position of a first landmark from three-dimensional shape information; a landmark associating unit for determining a correspondence relation, between the first landmark position detected by the first landmark detecting unit and an attachment position to the vehicle of the first landmark estimated by a vehicle landmark relative position estimating unit; and a vehicle sensor relative orientation estimating unit for estimating the relative position and orientation of the vehicle and a first measurement section based on the information from the vehicle landmark relative position estimating unit and a landmark associating unit.
