Ground Truth Calibration
for the Validation of ADAS/
AD-Sensor Systems
For the validation of ADAS/AD systems in real-world driving situa-
tions, a highly precise Ground Truth (GT) reference dataset is requested.
To create an accurate image of the environment around the vehicle, the
sensors of this GT system have to be calibrated properly. Apart from cali-
bration accuracy, “reproducibility” and “expenditure of time” for calibra-
tion data recording are important characteristics of the calibration process,
too. At the Mobility and Sensor Test Center in Roding, a sensor calibra-
tion facility provides a highly automated calibration routine for the AVL
Ground Truth System™, achieving high calibration accuracy within short-
est calibration data recording time.
AVL’s Ground Truth
System and its calibra-
tion process are leading
the way for real-world
