Tutorial #15: How to measure the performance of perception sensors
In this video, Clemens, our CTO, introduces the Persival Sensor Performance Test Bench. It measures the actual performance of lidar and radar sensors across different targets, materials, distances, and viewing angles. With these measurements, you can assess sensor capabilities beyond the data sheet, compare sensor configurations, and validate your sensor models.
Topics Covered
Sensor Performance Measurement: Learn how semi-automated measurements help evaluate detection ranges and the ability to distinguish targets at different angles and distances.
High-Precision Test Setup: Discover the sensor station with its two-axis goniometer, reference sensors, and flexible target mounting system for lidar and radar testing.
Validation Workflow: See how precisely measured target positions allow you to recreate the setup in simulation and compare real-world measurements with virtual results.
Sensor Selection & Configuration: Explore how these measurements support choosing sensors, configuring your setup, and determining the required fields of view.
