A line-scanning lidar yields range and azimuth values in a fixed plane. To perceive surrounding objects in 3D, there must be relative motion between the lidar plane and the object. Thus, using a rotating base-platform is promising for industrial applications where objects need to be scanned or inspected precisely, and is the main focus of this work. In the rotary platform setup, a 3D point cloud of an object can be constructed if the axis of rotation and the precise motion about that axis are known. However, this setup gives rise to the following problem: how can the axis of rotation of the platform be accurately identified with respect to the lidar coordinate system? It is referred to as the calibration problem in the robotics community. Any inaccuracy in this transformation directly affects the quality of the reconstructed point cloud, leading to misrepresentation of the object of interest. In this work, we explore automated approaches to statically and dynamically estimate the transformation of a rotary platform's axis of rotation with respect to a static line-scanning lidar. The proposed algorithms have been validated on real-world datasets obtained from a custom made rotary platform and an FMCW lidar, and their convergence characteristics are studied for various initial conditions.
