Can this method be used to calibrate a 360 camera like an insta360 to a lidar?

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has succeeded in getting extrinsics between a 360 camera like the insta360 series and a Velodyne or Ouster Lidar. I've tried with the insta360 one R and an Ouster OS1-32, but my checkerboards are either poorly segmented in the point clouds, or when the segments look ok, the back projection of corner points from point cloud to the image is completely wrong. I'd appreciate any help provided.

Checkerboards are (6x8) with 7.5cm length of side for each square in the pattern. The bottom left corner is a black square so my config.yaml file has 'start_pattern_corner': 0. I've attached pictures of the output below.

Thanks

Hi, I was doing something similar recently, just wanted to ask if you have come to a conclusion?
