Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for calibrating an autonomous navigation system. According to a first aspect of the present invention, calibration of the autonomous navigation system may be controlled by a calibration map.
Claims20
A method for calibrating an autonomous navigation vehicle, said method comprising:
- determining that a first location of an autonomous navigation vehicle is a calibration-map location;
- retrieving a value, of an overall calibration index, associated with said first location;
- determining, using said overall calibration index value, if said first location is a suitable location for performing a calibration operation;
- and
- when said first location is a suitable location for performing a calibration operation, performing said calibration operation.
2 more elements
A method for generating a calibration map, said method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of calibration-map locations;
- and
- assigning an overall-calibration-index value to each calibration-map location in said plurality of calibration-map locations.
