Sensor calibration enclosures and methods of using sensor calibration enclosures to calibrate vehicle sensors

A system for calibrating one or more vehicle sensors, the system comprising:

• a calibration enclosure, the calibration enclosure comprising one or more projections disposed at one or more locations on the calibration enclosure, each one of the one or more projections providing an encoded signal that is usable for calibrating at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors when the calibration enclosure is placed over a vehicle comprising the one or more vehicle sensors such that the calibration enclosure covers the vehicle.

A method of calibrating at least one vehicle sensor disposed on a vehicle, the method comprising:

• placing a calibration enclosure over the vehicle such that the calibration enclosure covers the vehicle, the calibration enclosure comprising an interior surface having one or more projections disposed at one or more locations on the interior surface, each one of the one or more projections providing an encoded signal that is usable for calibrating the at least one vehicle sensor;
• and
• executing at least one calibration algorithm, the at least one calibration algorithm using data obtained from at least one of the one or more projections to calibrate the at least one vehicle sensor.
