    摘要: A method of reducing training data via a system having an encoder, wherein at least a portion of the training data forms a temporal sequence and is combined into a first set of training data, and the encoder maps input data to prototype feature vectors of a set of prototype feature vectors. A first input datum is received from the first set of training data, and propagated by the encoder. The input datum is assigned one or more feature vectors by the encoder, and depending on the assigned feature vectors, a defined set of prototype feature vectors is determined and assigned to the first input datum. An aggregated vector is created for the first input datum. A second aggregated vector is created for the second input datum and the first and second aggregated vectors are compared and a measure of similarity for the aggregated vectors is determined.

    摘要: A testing device for testing a distance sensor includes a receiving element for receiving an electromagnetic free-space wave as a receive signal, and a radiating element for radiating a simulated reflection signal. The receive signal or a signal derived therefrom is routed via a time delay circuit, and is thus time-delayed to a time-delayed signal. The time-delayed signal or a signal derived therefrom is radiated as the simulated reflection signal. The time delay circuit has an analog delay path and a digital delay path. The analog delay path implements shorter time delays than the digital delay path, apart from a possible overlap region. An input switch is used to switch the receive signal or the signal derived therefrom to the input of the analog delay path or to the input of the digital delay path, and the signal becomes the time-delayed signal after passing through the connected delay path.
