Abstract
A system for calibrating at least one camera and a light detection and ranging (“LiDAR”) sensor includes one or more processors and a memory in communication with the one or more processors that stores an initial calibration module and a user calibration module. The initial calibration module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to obtain a camera image from the at least one camera, determine when the camera image includes at least one object having at least one edge, obtain a three-dimensional point cloud image from the LiDAR sensor that includes the at least one object having at least one edge and generate a combined image, that includes at least portions of the camera image and at least portions of the three-dimensional point cloud image. The user calibration module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to display the combined image on a display, receive at least one input from a user interface, and adjust a calibration parameter of at least one of the LiDAR sensor and the at least one camera in response to the one or more inputs from the user interface.
