System and method for calibrating camera data using a second image sensor from a second vehicle

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in the memory, which cause the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
• receiving a first image from a first image acquisition device mounted to a first vehicle that is moving;
• identifying one or more first features in the first image;
• obtaining one or more first parameters associated with the identified one or more first features;
• sending the first image and the one or more first parameters associated with the identified one or more first features to a second image acquisition device mounted to a second vehicle;
• preparing calibration information, based on the first image, for one or more of the identified one or more first features from the second image acquisition device, the calibration information including at least a suggested location for a vanishing point;
• receiving the calibration information at the first image acquisition device and
• calibrating the first image acquisition device based the one or more first parameters and the calibration information from the second image acquisition device by comparing the one or more of the identified second features from the second image acquisition device with the one or more identified first features from the first image acquisition device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a first image from a first image acquisition device mounted to a first vehicle that is moving;
• identifying one or more first features in the first image;
• obtaining one or more first parameters associated with the identified one or more first features;
• sending the first image and the one or more first parameters associated with the identified one or more first features to a second image acquisition device mounted to a second vehicle;
• preparing calibration information for one or more of the identified one or more first features from a second image acquisition device, the calibration information including at least a suggested location for a vanishing point;
• receiving the calibration information at the first image acquisition device and
• calibrating the first image acquisition device based the one or more first parameters and the calibration information from the second image acquisition device by comparing the one or more of the identified second features from the second image acquisition device with the one or more identified first features from the first image acquisition device.
