This paper proposes a method to estimate the pose of a sensor mounted on a vehicle as the vehicle moves through the world, an important topic for autonomous driving systems. Based on a set of commonly deployed vehicular odometric sensors, with outputs available on automotive communication buses (e.g. CAN or FlexRay), we describe a set of steps to combine a planar odometry based on wheel sensors with a suspension model based on linear suspension sensors. The aim is to determine a more accurate estimate of the camera pose. We outline its usage for applications in both visualisation and computer vision.
