    Abstract: A method is provided for training a machine-learning algorithm which relies on primary data captured by at least one primary sensor. Labels are identified based on auxiliary data provided by at least one auxiliary sensor. A care attribute or a no-care attribute is assigned to each label by determining a perception capability of the primary sensor for the label based on the primary data and based on the auxiliary data. Model predictions for the labels are generated via the machine-learning algorithm. A loss function is defined for the model predictions. Negative contributions to the loss function are permitted for all labels. Positive contributions to the loss function are permitted for labels having a care attribute, while positive contributions to the loss function for labels having a no-care attribute are permitted only if a confidence of the model prediction for the respective label is greater than a threshold.

    Abstract: A method is provided for assigning a bounding box to an object in an environment of a vehicle. Data related to objects located in the environment of the vehicle are acquired via a sensor. Based on the data, a respective spatial location and a respective size of a plurality of preliminary bounding boxes are determined such that each preliminary bounding box covers one of the objects at least partly. A respective velocity of each preliminary bounding box is estimated based on the data. A subset of the plurality of preliminary bounding boxes being related to a respective one of the objects is selected, where the subset is selected based on the respective velocity of each of the preliminary bounding boxes. A final bounding box is assigned to the respective one of the objects by merging the preliminary bounding boxes of the corresponding subset.
