    摘要: The disclosure describes various embodiments for online system-level validation of sensor synchronization. According to an embodiment, an exemplary method of analyzing sensor synchronization in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) include the operations of acquiring raw sensor data from a first sensor and a second sensor mounted on the ADV, the raw sensor data describing a target object in a surrounding environment of the ADV; and generating an accuracy map based on the raw sensor data in view of timestamps extracted from the raw sensor data. The method further includes the operations of generating a first bounding box and a second bounding box around the target object using the raw sensor data; and performing an analysis of the first and second bounding boxes and the accuracy map using a predetermined algorithm in view of one or more pre-configured sensor settings to determine whether the first sensor and the second sensor are synchronized with each other.

    摘要: A method to perform video compression for ADV is disclosed. The method receives multiple frames of image data from multiple cameras. Metadata are appended to each frame of the image data to generate one of multiple frames of uncompressed image data as the image data are received. The frames of uncompressed image data may be stored. To compress the image data later, the method retrieves the frames of uncompressed image data, extracts the metadata from each frame of the uncompressed image data to generate one of multiple frames of processed image data. The method compresses each frame of the processed image data with the metadata extracted to generate one of multiple frames of compressed image data. The method reattaches the metadata to a corresponding frame of the compressed image data to generate one of multiple compressed image frames. The metadata supports time synchronization and error handling of the image data.
