Abstract :
This paper presents two techniques for determining vehicle pitch and roll with a 3-D lidar which will first auto-calibrate itself to the vehicle´s axes. The first method presented is based on Euler angles and the second on Gaussian Processes. A 3-antenna Septentrio GPS receiver is used to asses system performance.
