  • Patent number: 11415985
    Abstract: A method is described for ascertaining a state of a vehicle light of a vehicle. The method includes a step of reading in and a step of evaluating. In the step of reading in, an image signal is read in that includes a camera image including a vehicle area of a detected vehicle. In the step of evaluating, the image signal is evaluated by using an artificial teachable model, in particular an artificial neural network. Here, at least two state categories, each representing a state of the vehicle light of the vehicle, are differentiated. That state category is ascertained as the evaluation result which represents the instantaneous state of the vehicle light of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11416371
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a simulation model. In the method, for selected test cases, a first performance index is calculated in the simulation model. For the same test case, a second performance index is ascertained in a real test environment. For each of the test cases, a difference is calculated between the first performance index and the second performance index, and a signal metric is determined. For each of the signal metrics, an interrelation between the difference and the respective signal metric is investigated. The signal metric that exhibits the closest interrelation with the difference is selected.
