It is of practical interest to automatically calibrate the multiple sensors in autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we deal with an interesting case when used low-resolution Lidar and present a practical approach to extrinsic calibration between monocular camera and Lidar with sparse 3D measurements. We formulate the problem as directly minimizing the feature error evaluated between frames following the way of image warping. To overcome the difficulties in the optimization problem, we propose to use the distance transform and further projection error model to obtain the key approximated edge points that are sensitive to the loss function. Finally, the loss minimization is solved by an efficient random selection algorithm. Experimental results on KITTI dataset show that our proposed method can achieve competitive results and an improvement in translation estimation particularly.
