Abstract
In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes determining a first set of data acquisition characteristics of a first sensor of an autonomous driving vehicle. The method also includes determining a second set of data acquisition characteristics of a second sensor of the autonomous driving vehicle. The method further includes synchronizing a first data acquisition time of the first sensor and a second data acquisition time of the second sensor, based on the first set of data acquisition characteristics and the second set of data acquisition characteristics. The first sensor obtains first sensor data at the first data acquisition time. The second sensor obtains second sensor data at the second data acquisition time.
