Abstract
A sensor pod system includes one or more sensor pods with a plurality of sensors configured to collect data from an environment. A sensor pod may have an effective field of view created by individual sensors with overlapping fields of view. The sensor pod system may include sensors of different types and modalities. Sensor pods of the sensor pod system may be modularly installed on a vehicle, for example, an autonomous vehicle and collect and provide data of the environment during operation of the vehicle. A combination of techniques may be used to calibrate a sensor pod prior to installation in the vehicle and may be used to determine if the sensor pod is compatible with other sensor pods and may also be used to calibrate other sensors when integrating the sensor pod into the vehicle.
