AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING EXTRINSIC PARAMETERS OF MODULAR EDGE COMPUTING DEVICES

Abstract: implementations are disclosed for automatic commissioning, configuring, calibrating, and/or coordinating sensor-equipped modular edge computing devices that are mountable on agricultural vehicles. in various implementations, neighbor modular edge computing device(s) that are mounted on a vehicle nearest a given modular edge computing device may be detected based on sensor signal(s) generated by contactless sensor(s) of the given modular edge computing device. based on the detected neighbor modular edge computing device(s), an ordinal position of the given modular edge computing device may be determined relative to a plurality of modular edge computing devices mounted on the agricultural vehicle. based on the sensor signal(s), distance(s) to the neighbor modular edge computing device(s) may be determined. extrinsic parameters of the given modular edge computing device may be determined based on the ordinal position of the given modular edge computing device and the distance(s).
