    Abstract: Herein, a "perception statistical performance model" (PSPM) for modelling a perception slice of a runtime stack for an autonomous vehicle or other robotic system may be used e.g. for safety/performance testing. A first PSPM is configured to: receive a computed perception ground truth; determine from the perception ground truth, based on a set of learned parameters, a probabilistic perception uncertainty distribution, the parameters learned from a set of actual perception outputs generated using the perception slice to be modelled, in order to compute a first time series of perception outputs. A second time series of perception outputs is computed using a second PSPM for modelling a second perception slice of the runtime stack, the first PSPM learned from data of a first sensor modality of the perception slice and the time series, and the second PSPM learned independently thereof from data of a second sensor modality of the second perception slice and the second time series.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of modelling a perception system, the perception system configured to receive sensor data and interpret the sensor data to generate actual perception outputs, comprises: receiving a plurality of input samples, wherein each input sample comprises sensor data and is associated with one or more training perception ground truths pertaining to one or more ground truth objects; providing the sensor data of each input sample to the perception system to be modelled, wherein the perception system interprets the sensor data, in order to generate one or more actual perception outputs for the input sample; and training a function approximator to model the perception system by: for each input sample, inputting the training perception ground truths to the function approximator, wherein the function approximator computes one or more predicted perception values by processing the training perception ground truths but not the sensor data from which the actual perception outputs are generated, and adapting parameters of the function approximator, so as to match the corresponding predicted perception values to the actual perception outputs for each of the input samples; wherein the training perception ground truths associated with at least one of the input samples comprise first and second training perception ground truths pertaining to first and second ground truth objects respectively, wherein at least one of the corresponding predicted perception values is computed from both the first and second training perception ground truths for modelling correlations between the first and second ground truth objects.

    Abstract: In one aspect, hierarchical image segmentation is applied to an image formed of a plurality of pixels, by classifying the pixels according to a hierarchical classification scheme, in which at least some of those pixels are classified by a parent level classifier in relation to a set of parent classes, each of which is associated with a subset of child classes, and each of those pixels is also classified by at least one child level classifier in relation to one of the subsets of child classes, wherein each of the parent classes corresponds to a category of visible structure, and each of the subset of child classes associated with it corresponds to a different type of visible structure within that category.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method of training an encoder to extract features from sensor data comprises generating a plurality of training examples, each training example comprising at least two data representations of a set of sensor data, the at least two data representations related by a transformation parameterized by at least one numerical transformation value; and training the encoder based on a self-supervised regression loss function applied to the training examples. The encoder extracts respective features from the at least two data representations of each training example, and at least one numerical output value is computed from the extracted features. The self-supervised regression loss function encourages the at least one numerical output value to match the at least one numerical transformation value parameterizing the transformation.

    Abstract: A method of annotating known objects in road images captured from a sensor-equipped vehicle, the method implemented in an annotation system and comprising: receiving at the annotation system a road image containing a view of a known object; receiving ego localization data, as computed in a map frame of reference, via localization applied to sensor data captured by the sensor-equipped vehicle, the ego localization data indicating an image capture pose of the road image in the map frame of reference; determining, from a predetermined road map, an object location of the known object in the map frame of reference, the predetermined road map representing a road layout the map frame of reference, wherein the known object is one of: a piece of road structure, and an object on or adjacent a road; computing, in an image plane defined by the image capture pose, an object projection, by projecting an object model of the known object from the object location into the image plane; and storing, in an image database, image data of the road image, in association with annotation data of the object projection for annotating the image data with a location of the known object in the image plane.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing images for extracting information about known objects comprises the steps of receiving an image containing a view of a known object at a scale dependent on an object distance of the known object from an image capture location of the image; determining, from a world model representing one or more known objects in the vicinity of the image capture location, an object location of the known object, the object location and the image capture location defined in a world frame of reference; and based on the image capture location and the object location in the world frame of reference, applying image scaling to the image, to extract a rescaled image containing a rescaled view of the known object at a scale that is substantially independent of the object distance from the image capture location.
