Abstract: | Sensor fusion of a camera and laser range finder is important for the autonomous navigation of mobile robots. Finding the transformation between the camera and laser range finder is the first necessary step for the fusion of information. Many algorithms have been proposed, but these tend to require many different steps in order to achieve reliable and accurate results. A calibration structure that has triangular hole on its plane is proposed for the extrinsic calibration of a camera and laser range finder. Locations of laser scan data that are invisible on the calibration plane can be determined using property on the proposed calibration structure. First, we classify the laser scan data into two groups where one is on the plane and the other is off the plane. Then, we determine the absolute location of the laser scan data on the plane through a search of the parameters of the line. Finally, we can establish 3D-3D correspondences between the camera and laser range finder. Extrinsic calibration between a camera and laser range finder is found using a conventional 3D-3D transformation computing algorithm.
