1. A method for evaluating calibration data collected by a range sensor of a mobile machine on a site, the method comprising:
- collecting a calibration data set using the range sensor, the calibration data set including information indicating the locations of a plurality of points on a surface of the site relative to the range sensor;
determining an expected error score of the calibration data set; and
determining whether to use the calibration data set to calibrate the range sensor based on the expected error score.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for evaluating calibration data collected by a range sensor of a mobile machine on a site includes collecting a calibration data set using the range sensor. The calibration data set includes information indicating the locations of a plurality of points on a surface of the site relative to the range sensor. The method further includes determining an expected error score of the calibration data set. Finally, the method includes determining whether to use the calibration data set to calibrate the range sensor based on the expected error score.
