The disclosure is a three-dimensional towered checkerboard for multi-sensor calibration, and a LiDAR and camera joint calibration method based on the checkerboard. The joint calibration method includes: establishing a modeling coordinate system taking the three-dimensional towered checkerboard as a basis, and generating a point cloud of the three-dimensional towered checkerboard; denoising a three-dimensional point cloud obtained by LiDAR, and obtaining an actual point cloud of the three-dimensional towered checkerboard under a LiDAR coordinate system; determining a transformation relationship between the LiDAR coordinate system and the modeling coordinate system; generating a corner point set of two-dimensional checkerboards under the modeling coordinate system in sequence according to actual positions of corners of the two-dimensional checkerboards, and transforming into the LiDAR coordinate system; obtaining a corner point set of the two-dimensional checkerboards on a photo; and calculating a transformation relationship between the camera coordinate system and the LiDAR coordinate system.
