    摘要: A computer-implemented method for training a machine-learning method comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: determining measurement data from a first sensor; determining approximations of ground truths based on a second sensor; and training the machine-learning method based on the measurement data and the approximations of ground truths; wherein approximations of ground truths of lower-approximation quality have a lower effect on the training than approximations of ground truths of higher-approximation quality.

    摘要: A method for validation of an obstacle candidate identified within a sequence of image frames comprises the following steps: A. for a current image frame of the sequence of image frames, determining within the current image frame a region of interest representing the obstacle candidate, dividing the region of interest into sub-regions, and, for each sub-region, determining a Time-To-Contact (TTC) based on at least the current image frame and a preceding or succeeding image frame of the sequence of image frames; B. determining one or more classification features based on the TTCs of the sub-regions determined for the current image frame; and C. classifying the obstacle candidate based on the determined one or more classification features.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method is provided for semantic segmentation of an environment of a vehicle. Via a processing device, a grid of cells is defined dividing the environment of the vehicle. A radar point cloud is received from a plurality of radar sensors, and at least one feature of the radar point cloud is assigned to each grid cell. By using a neural network including deterministic weights, high-level features are extracted for each grid cell. Several classes are defined for the grid cells. For layers of a Bayesian neural network, various sets of weights are determined probabilistically. Via the Bayesian neural network, confidence values are determined for each class and for each grid cell based on the high-level features and based on the various sets of weights in order to determine a predicted class and an extent of uncertainty for the predicted class for each grid cell.
