- summary:
Target-based LiDAR-camera extrinsic calibration is a prerequisite for multi-sensor fusion in robotics. However, in the widely adopted four-hole pipeline, calibration accuracy is bottlenecked by LiDAR-side hole-center extraction, which suffers from sparse angular coverage and mixed-pixel corruption. This paper presents P$^2$Calib, which exploits pattern priors, geometric constraints specified by the CAD model of the target board, to improve calibration accuracy. First, we incorporate the known hole radius as a fitting constraint to prevent center estimates from degrading under sparse angular co → Target-based LiDAR-camera extrinsic calibration is a prerequisite for multi-sensor fusion in robotics.
