velo2camcalibration [
](https://build.ros.org/view/Ndev/job/Ndevvelo2camcalibration_ubuntufocal_amd64/)
The velo2cam_calibration software implements a state-of-the-art automatic calibration algorithm for pair of sensors composed of LiDAR and camera devices in any possible combination, as described in this paper:
Automatic Extrinsic Calibration Method for LiDAR and Camera Sensor Setups
Jorge Beltrán, Carlos Guindel, Arturo de la Escalera, Fernando García
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2022
[Paper] [Preprint]

Setup
This software is provided as a ROS package. To install:
1. Clone the repository into your catkin_ws/src/ folder.
2. Install run dependencies: sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-opencv-apps
3. Build your workspace as usual.
Usage
See HOWTO.md for detailed instructions on how to use this software.
To test the algorithm in a virtual environment, you can launch any of the calibration scenarios included in our Gazebo validation suite.
Calibration target
The following picture shows a possible embodiment of the proposed calibration target used by this algorithm and its corresponding dimensional drawing.

Note: Other size may be used for convenience. If so, please configure node parameters accordingly.
