1.1.2. Coordinate Systems

In practical applications, data from various sensors in the Active Camera is required.
The coordinate systems of these sensors are defined as follows:

  • The coordinate system of the LiDAR sensor is denoted as \(O_L−X_LY_LZ_L\) .

  • The coordinate system of the camera sensor is denoted as \(O_C−X_CY_CZ_C\) .

  • The coordinate system of the IMU sensor is denoted as \(O_I−X_IY_IZ_I\) .

  • The AC coordinate system \(O−XYZ\) is defined as identical to the LiDAR coordinate system, \(O_L−X_LY_LZ_L\) .

The relationships between these coordinate systems are illustrated in the figure below: 图片alt

  • The origin of the LiDAR coordinate system \(O_L\) in the AC coordinate system \(O−XYZ\) is at \((0,0,0)\) (unit: mm).

  • The origin of the camera coordinate system \(O_C\) in the AC coordinate system \(O−XYZ\) is at \((4.3,0,−26.9)\) (unit: mm).

  • The origin of the IMU coordinate system \(O_I\) in the AC coordinate system \(O−XYZ\) is at \((−10.6,−9.9,15.5)\) (unit: mm).
