This disclosure is directed to calibrating sensors mounted on an autonomous vehicle. A dense depth map can be generated in a two-dimensional camera space using point cloud data generated by one of the sensors. Image data from another of the sensors can be compared to the dense depth map in the two-dimensional camera space. Differences determined by the comparison can indicate alignment errors between the sensors. Calibration data associated with the errors can be determined and used to calibrate the sensors without the need for calibration infrastructure.
