Sumario:An overview is provided of absolute luminosity calibrations of dedicated luminosity detectors and algorithms at ATLAS for different LHC physics conditions. Emphasis is placed on their precision calibration in ts=7TeV proton-proton collisions. Details of systematic uncertainties associated both with this calibration and its subsequent application to typical running conditions in 2011 are presented. A preliminary estimate of the total uncertainty is shown to approach a precision of $sim$2%. Potential correlation of this uncertainty with that expected in 2012 proton-proton collision data is discussed.
