Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to sensor calibration. Some techniques described herein are for calibrating a camera using a motion sensor.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- at a computer system that is in communication with a first sensor and a camera that includes a first image sensor and a second sensor different from the first sensor, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor do not include an image sensor:
- receiving, from the first sensor, first sensor data;
- receiving, from the second sensor of the camera, second sensor data;
- after receiving the first sensor data and the second sensor data, comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data;
- and
- in response to comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data, calibrating the camera.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a first sensor and a camera that includes a first image sensor and a second sensor different from the first sensor, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor do not include an image sensor, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from the first sensor, first sensor data;
- receiving, from the second sensor of the camera, second sensor data;
- after receiving the first sensor data and the second sensor data, comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data;
- and
- in response to comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data, calibrating the camera.
A computer system configured to communicate with a first sensor and a camera that includes a first image sensor and a second sensor different from the first sensor, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor do not include an image sensor, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from the first sensor, first sensor data;
- receiving, from the second sensor of the camera, second sensor data;
- after receiving the first sensor data and the second sensor data, comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data;
- and
- in response to comparing the first sensor data with the second sensor data, calibrating the camera.
