Abstract

A sensor calibration system for a vehicle includes one or more processors. The system also includes a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing a sensor calibration module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, for an environment sensor of the vehicle, determine if the sensor can detect at least a predetermined number of viable reference features in an environment of the vehicle. The module also includes processor-executable instructions to, if the sensor cannot not detect at least a predetermined number of viable reference features, determine at least one suggested positional arrangement of viable reference features with respect to a current position the sensor. The module also includes processor-executable instructions to generate instructions to arrange viable reference features in the at least one suggested positional arrangement.
