Simultaneous Calibration of Boresight and Lever Arm for Mobile LiDAR Systems on Hydrographic Platforms Using Synthetic and Real Data
Abstract. This work presents a robust calibration framework for marine LiDAR systems by leveraging spherical targets to jointly estimate boresight angles and lever arm offsets. The use of spheres provides a geometrically consistent and orientation-independent reference, enabling accurate calibration even in complex mar...
