Multi-modal sensing often involves determining correspondences between each domain's signals, which in turn depends on the accurate extrinsic calibration of the sensors. Challengingly, the camera-LIDAR sensor modalities are quite dissimilar and the narrow field of view of most commercial LIDARs means that they observe only a partial view of the camera frustum. We present a framework for extrinsic ...
